Reflection
You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. The verb is intimate — knit, not assembled. The wonder is in the making itself, before any achievement or contribution. Your value was set before you were born.
Fearfully and wonderfully made
The verb is intimate — knit, not assembled. Your worth was established before you did anything, said anything, or earned anything. The wonder is in the making itself, and the making is God's, not your own.
