Read:
Psalm 139:13-16 ”For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
Think:
Long before you were conceived by your biological parents, you were known by God. It is not by fate, chance, random luck, or coincidence that you were born. You are alive because God has a purpose and plan for you.
Whether your parents were good, bad or indifferent, God used them. They had the exact DNA needed to create the miracle of you. God made you to be you. He created you to love you; your parents may have contributed DNA, but God crafted you uniquely. You are God’s masterpiece.
Apply:
God made you to be you. Have you ever praised God for making you? Thank him today for the miracle of you.
Pray:
Dear Jesus, I am grateful for your love and sacrifice. I am thankful that you created me in your image, that you loved me so much you crafted me for a purpose. Help me to use my unique gifts and talents to honor you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
