You made me

"Through him all things were made..." John 1:3

Jesus, you made me. You intimately formed me with your hands. You created my inmost being. You designed my inner heart and mind, my personality, my natural abilities, interests, passions, my inclinations, even my weaknesses. You lovingly and gently designed everything about me according to your perfect plan and pleasure.

You were pleased to make me. You were smiling as you formed every part of me - inside and outside, visible and invisible. And when you were done, you said, "He is very good." You smiled and looked to our Father, seeking his praise too, and as his tender eyes met yours, he smiled and agreed, "Yes, he is very good."

Thank you, Jesus, that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and that you are very pleased with me and smile when you look at me.

"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 are your thoughts about me, 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
