Transcript
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. I know that full well. Psalms 139 verses 14.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made. What does it mean to be fearfully and wonderfully made? That means that...
You... The first part of this verse that talks about being fearfully and wonderfully made, it really taps into how much care and how much attention God put into creating each and every one of us and how unique we are. Even if we have siblings or...
we have an identical twin, maybe as an identical twin you have the same physical characteristics but your personalities are different. If you have a sibling and you both have the same parents you may look a lot alike but you still have differences and that is how God crafted us. He crafted us with so much care and He wants you to know today
that you are wonderfully made. You are made in his image. You are amazing. You are a child of God. He loves you. And when he thinks about you, his precious creation, he smiles. He thinks about his daughter, his son. And he says, that is my beautiful, that is my handsome, that is my wonderful creation.
Wesleyne (:The next part of that verse says, your works are wonderful. I know that full well. So literally David is saying, your works are wonderful and I know that full well. That means that the work that he used, and the things that he did to craft you are wonderful.
You're great and you should know that in your heart, in your mind, in your spirit, in your soul. You are wonderful. You are amazing. You are a child of God.
He loves you just as you are. He crafted you to be the person that you are today. So when you look in the mirror and you're like, my hairline is too far back. My eyebrow is crooked. My teeth aren't straight. I have blemishes. I have freckles. I don't like my ears.
That means that you are talking badly about God's great creation. When you start complaining about your physical appearance, you are talking bad about something, someone that God has created and made in his image. So stop talking bad about God's creation. Remember you are fearfully and wonderfully made in his image.
