Read Psalm 139:13-14

 The word formed literally means "originated or created." 

God reached into my life when I was merely a tiny embryo and began to shape me within. He originated me. He began to put me together while I was still in the soft silence of my mother's womb. It was there my "inward parts" were originated by God....

The nine-month interweaving work of God included my likes and dislikes, my personality as well as my perspective on life.... As I analyse my body and see the way I have been put together, I join the psalmist in praise and gratitude to God, my Creator....

Mother Nature didn't make me. Fate did not shape me, neither was I just a biological combination of mother and dad in a moment of sexual passion. Nor was I conceived through blind chance. 

You, God (and no other), made me!
