Read Psalm 139:13–14, 17–18

There is only one you. Your face and features, your voice, your personality, your background, your characteristics and peculiarities, your fingerprint, your abilities, your smile, your handshake, your manner of expression, your viewpoint—everything about you—is found in only one individual since man first began—you. How about that! Dig as deeply as you please in the ancient, dusty archives of Homo sapiens and you’ll not find another you in the whole lot. Why? Because God wanted you to be you, that’s why. He designed you to be a unique, distinct, significant person unlike any other individual on the face of the earth, throughout the vast expanse of time. In your case, as in the case of every other human being, the mould was broken and never to be used again once you entered the flow of mankind. You, dear reader, were prescribed and then presented to this world exactly as God arranged it. Yours is a one-and-only DNA.

Ponder these ancient words:

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!... How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! (Psalm 139:13–14, 17–18)

Tired of feeling insignificant and alone? Turn to the One who made you. Let Him remind you of the countless thoughts He has for you every moment of each day. What a glorious truth to ponder! He made you—He thinks of you, He cares for you, and best of all, He loves you. Find your fulfilment and joy in Him today, then lie down to sleep with confidence He’s still there. When you wake up…He’ll still be thinking about you. Isn’t that terrific?
