Read Psalm 139:14.
She was depressed and seemed to be slipping into a dark place. Nonetheless, when we met she asked, “How are you?”
I answered, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and I know it right well!”
She wasn’t expecting that answer—the surprise was plain on her face.
“And so are you,” I added. “Fearfully and wonderfully made! I know it.”
“I wish,” she answered.
“But it’s true. God loves you … you are wonderful,” I responded.
A small smile crept into her face.
The next day I saw her again and said, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made.”
She sighed, “Oh I want to believe it.”
I replied, “Believe it because it’s true.”
“I think I will,” she said as she slowly smiled.
Father, thank You for fearfully and wonderfully making us in Your image. Give us the faith to believe that truth today. Amen.
