For February 26th:

¹³ You are the one who created my innermost parts;
    you knit me together while I was still in my mother’s womb. ¹⁴ I give thanks to you that I was marvelously set apart.
    Your works are wonderful—I know that very well. Psalm 139:13-14(CEB)

I know that this sounds funny, but as I have studied the scriptures, I realize that we should be grateful for the unique way that God designed us.  God knew exactly who you would be.  He wants you to be the best that you can be and wants to help you get there.  God cares about how you turn out.

When you have children, we see features of ourselves.  There may be physical traits or special talents that have been passed on along with your DNA.  We have God’s Spirit within us, and that helps us reflect Him to others.  Hopefully people see Godly features in us.

One thing to remember is that we are not a project that is done, but a work that is still going on.  We are not perfect beings, but God wants us to strive to be all that He meant for us to be.  God has given each of us many gifts that are unique to us.  We must trust that God will help us develop and use them.  I am a unique and valuable person and so are you.  Be grateful for how God created you.
