I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. - Psalm 139:14 (NRSVUE)

As I sat in my assigned plane seat, I took the opportunity to do a little people watching as the passengers began to flood onto the plane. I saw sad faces, happy faces, hurting faces, wrinkled faces, baby faces, and even a set of faces that looked alike (twins, I presumed). I marveled at the idea that no two people were the same, even the twins. It is amazing that God could create an entire human race and never repeat a single individual.

We are all different — in appearance, personalities, skills, abilities, and attitudes. Psalm 139:14 talks about each of us being wonderfully made in the image of God. How marvelous to know that there is no one in the world like us! We are each perfectly made and one-of-a-kind.

When you have a little time on your hands, do some people watching. You will be amazed at the originality of what God has created. We each are loved and were created by God.
