Defining Worth

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully & wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalms 139:13-14

There is a new women's Bible Study on Wednesday night at the church. It is titled Women Of Worth. The first lesson was Defining Worth & the above verses are the opening to the lesson. I read the verses over & over, trying to take them in & break it down. What do they really mean? I found a poem that is very fitting & helped to answer my question.

Lord,

Sometimes when I look

At my life

It seems like a homespun

Patch - work quilt...

Quaint, but not quite "together"!

There are bits & pieces of

Cloths & 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 & 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 &

Cozy comfort &

Color to a room!

Whatever I am, Lord,

You made me...

Lovingly,

Carefully,

Reverently,

And exactly right!

I was also reminded of a You Tube Video I had seen some months back by Louie Giglio talking about Laminin. It is awesome! So I hope you will take a few minutes to watch it, you can find the video on my blog located on the side bar.

This was just the first lesson of the Bible Study, I can't wait until the next!
