I was made with care. My body is not a mistake.

I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.

Psalm 139:14 · BSB

Reflection

David is thinking about being knit together in his mother's womb when he writes this. Before anyone had an opinion about how you look, God was carefully forming you. Praise fits better than criticism.

God, You made me on purpose. Help me look at my body with thanks instead of judgment.
