Meditation Monday: Rebecca Williams - Psalm 139

“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 fame 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)

I, like so many others, struggle with self-image and worth. It seems sometimes that it is an all-consuming struggle, am I worthy based on the way I look or the way I act, do I do enough, say enough, am I enough? The amazing thing is that we all have worth in God. We are wonderfully made, made in the image of God. I love this verse, He made us wonderful and I know that. I sometimes forget, but I am. My days were written in the book. I have grown a lot lately in realizing that what I do and what I am called to do for God, that is enough. He has given me 24 hours, just like everyone else and He only expects me to use that time for Him.

God has been growing me immensely in this area. Remembering that I am wonderfully made is a daily battle, but one that I am not fighting alone. I am having to learn to see myself as God sees me. I’m also learning that I can’t do everything (I know, seems obvious right?) I am only one person and I only need to do the things God is calling me to do and do them to the best of my abilities. I am not always going to be able to help every person and my efforts aren’t always going to turn out the way I intended them to. Even when I am not enough, He is sufficient and His love is sufficient.
