Fearfully and Wonderfully made

Genesis 1:27-28a
"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.  God blessed them."
Genesis 2:7
"The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being."
In Genesis 1:1-28 every time God created something He saw that it was good.  But in Genesis 1:27-28a God created man in His image and then God blessed him.  God also took time to breath His breath of life into his nostrils.
Even today God takes care and time when He creates us.
Psalm 139:13-16
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made I know that full well.  My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.  When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body.  All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
Knit me together:  I was perfectly planned out by God and He is aware of everything about me.
Create my inmost being:  God created my personality, characteristics, strengths, and even what I see as flaws.
Fearfully:  With great reverence and heart felt interest and respect.
Wonderfully:  Unique, set apart, and uniquely marvelous.
Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart."
God knows everything about me, before I was born.  I am important to God.
