"I am fearfully and wonderfully made"

On Saturday morning I was reading "the word 4u 2day" and it was talking about the way in which we are bombarded with images of "aribrushed perfection". We are constantly being told that we should be thinner, more fashionable, anything other than who God made us to be. Those that know me, know I am always putting myself down about the way that I look.
It then asked the question: "Do you realise that by constantly putting yourself down, you're insulting your Maker?" This is something that I've often thought, but never really believed. Somehow someone else telling me it made me really think about it and accept it. The Bible tellls us that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made" Psalm 139:14 (New International Version). Therefore in God's eyes we're all "just right" because God doesn't make anything that isn't. God made us unique and each of us has a special purpose.
I will just try and remember this the next time I complain about the way I look.
