We can only imagine the concentrated thoughts that occupied the divine Mind and the gentle, skillful touch of the divine Hand that first shaped man from the dust. Where did the Creator begin? Did He start with a skeletal frame? Did He then cover it with an outside layer of skin, which at no place is thicker than three-sixteenths of an inch, is packed with nerve endings to enable man to feel the outside world, and is virtually waterproof? Into the skin stretched over the frame did He next place the heart that pumps seventy-two times a minute, forty million times a year? When did He hang the lungs in their sealed compartments so that the rivers of blood necessary for life can deposit the carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen to be carried to every single one of the more than twenty-six trillion cells in the body? When did He place the brain inside the bony skull and program it to send messages that travel faster than three hundred miles an hour along the nervous system to the entire body? Truly, we are fearfully and wonderfully and lovingly and personally created by an awe-inspiring, loving Creator! - Anne Graham

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”Psalm 139:14.

Yes, You Are Wonderfully Made! You are a powerful force in the universe. Believe in your greatness, and be proud of who you are! So the next time you fell down in the dumps, remember these reasons to be proud of yourself. Build yourself up, because you deserve to be treated with respect by everyone, especially yourself.

My dear Beloved heavenly Father,

You are a wonderful artist! You set all things in its perfect place and the universe is but a speck in your great creation! In the midst of your great work, you thought of me! Thank you for creating me just as I am! From the beginning, you had me in your heart. You even knew my name before I was conceived. You loved me so much that you created me in your image, above all creatures and angels in the universe.

Lord help me, Help me to Love myself, so I can love others as you would. Remind me of my worth, and that I am your temple. Help me to see that I am a light in this dark world. Give me the strength to endure in times when I am challenged. Give me the power to overcome negativity and evil thoughts. Let me feel your comforting presence whenever I am wounded, and restore my soul.

I present my body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto you, and I thank you for accepting me through Jesus Christ. - Francis, C
