No Accidents

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made …”
Psalm 139:14a

My life is not an accident,
Nor a pointless happenstance.
I was created for a purpose,
God left nothing up to chance.

I was custom made by Him,
The Master of Everything.
He knit me in my mother’s womb,
Formed the vocal chords that sing.

This nose … this was no mishap
Nor the number of my toes;
He shaped each and every one
Why so stubby? Well … He knows.

He poured the hazel in my eyes,
The blush upon my cheek,
Instilled in me desire for Him
That caused my heart to seek.

Formed by Him, for His pleasure,
Though my heart has yet to see
The beauty in all that I am,
I am what God wants me to be.
