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.
Being a woman in our strive-to-be-perfect society can be overwhelming sometimes. The pressure to have the perfect body, clothes, hair, makeup, house, etc. comes at us from every angle in our Babylon-like culture. It's nice to have the reminder that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made" no matter what size of jeans wear, how nice our hair is or if we never can quite get that last 10 lbs off. God "sees" us, his children; in fact, He loved us so much that before we even took form in the womb or took our first breath, all of our days were written in His book. If that's not a God of love, I don't know what is.
Today I'm praising God for the fact that I am a beautiful daughter of Christ, clothed in perfect robes of righteousness. He saw what he has made and it is GOOD.
