Now that you’ve recognized the wonders of God in creation, take time to consider that the Lord of all creation (Nehemiah 9:6) also created you! As His child, He knows you and loves you completely and uniquely.

When we were children in school, we may have been told how unique we were — like snowflakes. I remember marveling at the idea that no two snowflakes were the same. This is something that we seem to forget as we get older. We tend to lose our sense of wonder and awe, especially about ourselves. As St. Augustine said so eloquently:

“Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.”

Today, consider that there never was and never will be another you. It’s rather unfathomable! Throughout all of eternity, in all of the infinitely expanding universe, everywhere — anywhere, in all time and every place, there never was and never will be another you. Never. Ever.

So precious are you to God! So specifically and so specially did God knit you in the womb (Psalm 139:13).
