“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; your works are wonderful, I know that full
well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when
I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came
to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake, I am
still with you” (Psalm 139:13-18).
I am not
just a mass of tissue. I did not just “happen”. My days were planned before they
even existed. You not only created me from within my mother's womb, you created
a hunger in the depths of my soul for only you. My hunger has been filled with
love for you, Lord. I praise you because you have made me your own. You heard
the cry of my soul, and you came to your creation, and brought the greatest
fulfillment that only the blending of creator and creation can bring. Lord, I
yearn for your thoughts to be my thoughts, and your ways my ways. There are no
words to describe the joy of your spirit living inside of me—sharing hope,
giving direction, offering promise, and worshiping you. Lord, I pray that the
closeness I feel with you is everlasting. I need you like I need my next breath.
I lay down at night, and you are with me. I rise in the morning, and there you
are. You are my constant rock and strength. Nothing can separate me from your
love. Nothing. You gave me life, and you are my life. I am wonderfully made from
inside out, and that is my miracle.
Whatever you may face
today, remember that you are His miracle. You did not just happen. He has a plan
for your life.
“For I know the plans I
have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11,
NIV).
