This devotional was written by Chloee Jean.
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” – Psalm 139:14
I have this verse hanging on my mirror and read it at least 5 times as I get ready for my day. Not going to lie, there are moments where I need this verse more than other days. I have days where I feel great about my outward appearance, but I also have days where I hate how I look and nothing I do helps me feel better. Here’s the beauty of this verse, though: David simply wrote, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made”. He didn’t write “I am occasionally fearfully and wonderfully made” or “I have days where I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” He writes, “I am.”. Even on days when I don’t feel my best, I need the reminder that I am beautiful because of He who made me fearfully and wonderfully.
Friend, the standard of beauty is constantly changing. What the world calls beautiful changes every 5 minutes. God’s standard of beauty, however, has been the same since He created the world. Everything He makes and everything He has made is “very good” (Genesis 1:31). Embrace that truth. Let Him define you, not the world. For His definition is eternal while the world’s is very, very temporary.
Step into the beautiful truth of this verse today — no matter how you may be feeling in this moment. Stand in front of that mirror, stare at your reflection, and say “I am fearfully and wonderfully made because of the One who made me”. Own that truth today. Embrace it.
be. fearfully and wonderfully made

Chloee Jean is a youth leader, a Podcaster, a Digital Creator, Worship Leader, Social Media Manager, and a firm believer in Christ. She was born and raised in a Christian home and spent her days as a little girl singing songs, playing around on the piano, and drawing with her crayons. After years of hardships and trials, Chloee found escape in her music and writing her own lyrics. She pursued a Worship Leader certificate at Bethel Music’s Worship School. When she completed her course, she led worship with her sister, Aliseea, at a small youth group they were both currently serving in. After they both stepped down from that role and during 2020’s pandemic, Chloee started her own podcast called W.O.W and small business, Simply by Chloee Jean. She now finds joy in speaking God’s Word, singing about it occasionally with her sister, and creating digital designs to point others back to God and His Word. When Chloee isn’t designing or podcasting, she spends quality time with her family by having game nights, a movie marathon, or even jamming out to some worship songs.
