Wonderfully Made

Ellen says: The next time you pick up your little baby, or grandbaby, look into the face of that marvelously made child and say, "You are fearfully and wonderfully made." And wouldn't hard to repeat that statement throughout her childhood. Children need to know how valuable they are in God's sight- and ours. Nothing gives greater security than a strong sense of self esteem.

Hear this well, busy parents-especially who tends toward impatience, who are always on the run.... Your children have been put together in an altogether unique fashion, like no one else on earth.... They need you to help convince them they are unique persons, each one different, each one his or her own person. Childrens longing in our arms longing to be known, longing to accept themselves as they are, to be who they are. So when they wade into the swift current of their times, they will be able to stand firm, and won't depend on peer pressure to give them their standard.
