Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Albert

Last week in art class I shared Psalm 139:14 with all the children as we began our lesson on coil pots.  It is my heart and prayer for each child to know that they are “fearfully and wonderfully made” by God.  Being trafficked children, they were stripped of their identity and taken to a new village with a new language and forced to work as slaves.  However, over the last few years that I have known all the children, I have seen God restoring their identity and bringing healing to these broken places.  One of the ways God is restoring their identities is through the therapeutic process of creating art.  The kids loved using the clay to create a coil pot with their hands.  Just as they molded the clay to create their own unique creation, I explained how God has purposefully and carefully molded each of them with unique gifts, talents, and personalities.  Take a look at some of God’s fearfully and wonderfully made children with their beautiful creations!!!
