"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well." (Psalm 139:13, 14 ESV)
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." (Matthew 10:29-31 ESV)
You Are Valued
Do you ever feel like you're not worth much anymore? Like you're damaged goods?
The Bible couldn't be more clear about how valued you are in the eyes of God! No matter what other people may think or say, God intentionally made each and every part of you as His masterpiece.
In God's eyes, you are fearfully and wonderfully made. He carefully crafted you while you were still in your mother's womb, and He created you in His own image. He loves you as His own child, and even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
Jesus tells us that not even a bird can fall from the sky without God knowing and caring for it. If He cares that much for a bird, can you imagine how much He must know and care for you, whom He created as His masterpiece? You are valued!
Take a moment now to pray this to God: God, thank You for creating me in Your image. Please help me always remember that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and that I am valued so deeply in Your eyes. When I start to think that I'm worthless or just taking up space, please remind me of the fact that I am Your perfect creation. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.

That was the devotion i read tonight
When im down and feel fat, ugly, alone, unwanted....
I think of that verse that says 'i am fearfully and wonderfully made'
In God's eyes im made perfect
Jesus created and formed every feature that you have
No one EVER on the earth will EVER look like you. Even if you feel ugly and fat, just remember and say
"skrew it!!! God says im beautiful and this is how me made me look so ima have to deal with it. Flaunt what you got."
I do say that and it encourages me
I may not be some pageant drop dead gorgeous chick but i am a one of a kind
