Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
we would not destroy “Starry Night” as it graces its place of honour nor would we destroy the developing image as Van Gogh placed it on its canvas
we would not destroy the “Pietà” as it graces its place of honour nor would we destroy the developing sculpture as Michelangelo released it from its stone
we would not destroy “The Road Not Taken” as it graces its place of honour nor would we destroy the developing poem as Frost recalled a choice once made
we would not destroy creation’s pinnacle as we grace our place of honour nor should we destroy the developing person as God is knitting them together |

Inspired by this incredible painting by Alicia Hawley
which CHOICE42 posted on Facebook this morning
You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them.
Psalm 139:13-16
