You Are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
Psalm 139:13-14
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;
When I think about how I grew up in a environment were praise did not come from my parents mouth. I was told that I was ugly, fat, and even laughed at when I told my mother that my boyfriend had a child on the way. I went through most of my pre/teen years hating how I looked, my hair was bad, broke off, and to top it all off I had Eczema on my face and my neck. So I was teased almost everyday, and I tried my best to hide it, but it didn't work.
When I think of my younger years I think of the testimony of Leah. Leah was the older sister of Rachel, and Leah was considered " tender eyed". Leah wasn't chosen by Jacob, she was given to him, hidden and covered, (I wonder how that made her feel). Leah knew she wasn't loved, and because of that God opened her womb and she began to give her husband son's. Even though she was having babies with him she still wasn't happy. If you pay attention to the names of her sons, you will notice that something changes around number 4 (Judah), her request changed. Leah was no longer seeking the love and approval of her husband, she was seeking the love and approval of God. Leah began to praise God for who he was in her life. Gen.29:31-35
So if anyone is out there looking for love and approval like Leah and I were, I know a Man named Jesus that Loves you just as you are, because you are fearfully and wonderfully made. God has designed us all different and unique in our own way. So praise your way through the hurt you may endure when you are feeling unloved and not beautiful to others. People can not create what real beauty is, real beauty is created by God.
Be Blessed, and Beautiful
Jesus Loves you!!
