Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

We may feel insignificant here, struggle with physical infirmities, and be handicapped or challenged in many ways, but in heaven it will not be so. From before time, God created and formed each of us uniquely and intricately, and for eternity in heaven, we will finally realize that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

August's Message, Day 19:

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. Psalm 139:13-16 NIV

It is important for us to recognize that we are all, "fearfully and wonderfully made," especially in God's eyes, and He's the One that matters. In His mind, we were already created uniquely and intricately, and our days mapped out from before time. We are tripartite beings, body, soul, and spirit, and together all three parts make us who we are. We can see the physical body, experience and understand the soul (our mind and character), and vaguely grasp our spiritual self. God designed us perfectly to be governed and driven by our spirit, but we lost that in the Garden. Now, we are more governed by our physical body and soul, and therefore, we are extremely out of balance. We put huge emphasis on the physical here on earth, and of course our mental faculties and character, but unfortunately, most of us have totally neglected our spirit. That's precisely again, why we need Him, to give us that spirit connection back with Him. And remember, no matter how insignificant you may feel here on earth, or how handicapped or challenged you may be here on earth, or whatever infirmities you've had to deal with physically here on earth, rest assured it will not be so in heaven. We will have perfect, imperishable, and immortal bodies, without pain or sorrow, with perfect knowledge in Him, and a spiritual connection to all things that is impossible to describe. So take heart, this life here on earth is just a blink of an eye, and eternity awaits our fearful and wonderful state of being.
