Beautiful Imperfections

Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother's womb.
I thank you, High God— you're breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration —what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I'd even lived one day.

Psalm 139:13-16. msg.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

—Verse of the Day: Psalm 23:4

But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.

—John 1:12-13 (NLT)
