that way and somehow it defines you today. Moreover, your life depends on how you handle it,
you are still the controller of it but you need to remember that your name is precious and it is
priceless.

Let’s Read!
A. Psalm 139:14
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.”
God's creation of man was both marvelous and distinct from the creation of everything else. No
two persons are completely identical, and human beings are distinct from animals. David was
fully convinced that God had fearfully and wonderfully made him. He wrote: "My soul knows it
very well."
God's creation of man was both magnificent and unique from the rest of creation. Humans are
distinct from animals in that no two people are exactly alike.
In the eyes of our Creator, we are all unique in this world. We are marvelously and magnificently
constructed, and we are loved despite our flaws and defects.

 ● For your reference, read the interpretation of the scripture below.

fearfully and wonderfully made ob/gyn

1313 MCCALLIE AVENUECHATTANOOGA, TN, 37404423-498-2300

In the book of Psalms, David writes in chapter 139 verses 13 and 14:

“for it was You who created my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will praise You because I have been fearfully

and wonderfully made”.

Fearfully when translated from the hebrew means with great reverence, heart-felt interest, and with respect. Wonderfully when translated

from the hebrew means unique and set apart.

The intention of FAWM ob/gyn is to be a unified practice that meets the gynecologic and obstetrical needs of our patients. We also seek

to empower our patients to live in the awareness that they are created with great reverence, heart-felt interest and respect to be unique

and set apart . Every human being was created to be Christ’s image bearer and to live a fulfilled life without rival for an amazing and
 unique purpose.

Fearful in this context does not mean to be literally scared or afraid. We are immensely sorry for any confusion that this has created. It

means quite the opposite - that you were created with great reverence, heart-felt interest, and respect to be unique and set apart!

Because of this, human life both before and after birth is sacred. The unborn child is not simply
tissue to be discarded at the mother's discretion. Since every human being is created in the
image of God, it is a heinous sin to commit murder, whether by aborting the unborn, killing
oneself, or taking someone else's life in an act of rage. Every person, whether male or female,
no matter the ethnicity, age, or political persuasion, is someone made in the image of God and
known completely by Him. Believers are called upon to love even our enemies (Matthew 5:44);
often that begins by first acknowledging their inherent worth as a human knit together by God.

and beautifully made, whatever flaws and imperfections we have today, still we are
loved. As we go through life, we know the different attitudes and personalities, strengths
and weaknesses that made us today and it made us value ourselves more. May your
names be a reminder that you are always worth it and valuable to all the good things
here on earth.
