Wonderfully Made?

I know that blogs are supposed to be short, so I’ll do my best to keep my entries as such. However, I have a hard time conveying all I want to say in a condensed form (Which is why I write novels and not short stories!).
Today is a good day to write about Psalm 139:13-14, “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.” Although all of Psalm 139 is amazing to read, I will focus on these 2 verses today.
Once a month my job has a birthday dinner to honor all the people who had birthdays that month. Since mine was 2 weeks ago, I went to the one today. We went to a Mexican restaurant where they took photos of the birthday people wearing a sombrero. All was fun & games until I saw my photo. I looked so fat and ugly that I wanted to cry. Considering that I rarely cry, nor am I a girly girl, this is quite a statement from me. It is true that I am only 5’ tall and weigh at least 30 more pounds than I should, but I felt extra hideous by looking at that photo. I allowed my self pity to rob me of the fun luncheon with my co-workers.
That was when Psalm 139 came to my thoughts. God could care less about such vanity. He sees me as “wonderfully” made. Since humans are so ridiculously caught up in how a person looks, I have a major mental block against that belief. God finds me wonderful? He doesn’t care that my hair is too thin, my thighs too thick, and teeth too crooked? No, all he cares about is my daily walk with Him and how I reflect Him to those around me. Now that really brings tears to me eyes.
So I write this with pure humility as being so caught up in my own vanity and thank God for loving me no matter what I look like! Now I need to return the honor by being wonderful and living the best life I can to honor Him!
