“You Made Me”

I praise you

because I am fearfully

and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

–– Psalm 139:14

Patti is a part of a Bible Study Group I get to work with, and earlier this week she shared this there. It’s with her gracious permission that I share it now with you. It was written by Joy Morgan Davis. See if this fits you like it does so many of us —

Lord,
Sometimes when I look
At my life
It seems like a homespun
Patch-work quilt . . .
Quaint, but not quite “together”!
There are bits and pieces of
Cloths and colors,
Scraps of material,
The days of my life . . .

When you began to put together
The days of my life
You must have known
Where each piece would go . . .
You’ve told me that I am
Fearfully and wonderfully
Made . . .
And I believe you, Lord,
I do!
I may not be a velvet tapestry,
But even crazy-quilts
Have purpose,
To give warmth and
Cozy comfort and
Color to a room!

Whatever I am, Lord,
You made me . .
Lovingly,
Carefully,
Reverently,
And exactly right!

— Loud Amen from this guy.
