"If given a choice, most of us have something we would change about ourselves. Our aptitude, wealth, or appearance would be a starting point for some.
There are things about ourselves that can be changed, and other qualities that we have to learn to live with--all of which were made by God. The same God who created everything in the entire universe also knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Psalm 139 reminds us that we were designed by a Creator that took time with every detail that makes up who we are. Our bodies are composed of between 30 and 40 trillion cells--and those cells reproduce themselves every seven years. We have complex and marvelous bodies.

The Psalmist expressed gratitude for the wonder of creation even though he didn't have the medical knowledge that's available to us now. Many children, teens, and even adults struggle with the realization that nothing about them is an accident. We were created intentionally by God for His purposes.
God understands and is sympathetic to our insecurities. When we come to Him, He is willing to comfort us and remind us how much He loves us. In His wisdom and power, God chose to give us life, right now, at this point in history. It is a precious gift!
