Guest Post: We Are His Perfection (by Leah Schultz)
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. (Psalms 139:13-14 NLT)
If God
knit us together
in our mother's womb,
then we are exactly
what He intended
for us to be.
When He looks at us,
I expect He smiles
as He remembers
creating each
distinct individual feature
that makes us who we are.
What we look like,
the sound of our laugh,
our personality,
every characteristic,
was of His design
and for His purpose.
We are His creation,
and He loves us!
That should make us realize
how special we are in His eyes,
and also how special those around us
are to Him.
What right
do we have
to be
unaccepting
of ourselves
or others?
we also have no right
to brag on ourselves,
as if we had anything
to do with who we are,
or the talents we've been
given.
