Your child is wonderfully made. Have you told them?

When I was growing up, “self esteem” was the word of the day. Kids were taught that they had value simply by virtue of their mere existence. This movement, where we (in America at least) have taught children to value themselves highly without basis has caused all manner of issues, and is truly anti-biblical. Romans 12:3 (emphasis mine) says: “For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.”

It seems to me that although the self-esteem movement still marches forward, there’s a backlash of sorts against telling kids they have value by virtue of existence. Are we now teaching kids they have value by virtue of their achievements? I mean, if they can read at 18 months, paint at 3 years, or do gymnastics at 5, then they have value, right? Do we Christian parents sometimes assign value according to the external character our kids display–how quickly they obey, or how well they quiz on their Bible verses? I wonder what messages our new generation of children are growing up with about their value.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made Verse

Really, children do have value–and purpose. This is a biblical fact, and we parents are responsible to teach them. The beautiful truth is that your child is wonderfully made. No matter your child’s talents, limitations, color, shape, size, or temperament, your child has been uniquely and deliberately formed by the Lord of the Universe for His purpose and His glory. What an amazing truth that is!

Psalm 139:13-16 (ESV) says:

For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.

The truth is, every child is wonderfully made by God, intricately woven and knit together in his or her mother’s womb.

This reality–that your child is wonderfully made–is a cause for joy. The obvious conclusion, stated in Psalm 139:14a, is that this reality is a cause for praise. We praise God that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. This reality, too, can bring us to praise God for the way in which our neighbor (or our little sister) is also fearfully and wonderfully made.

Your child is wonderfully made. When you teach your child this reality and root it in the truth of Scripture, this fact is not a matter of self-esteem or of performance. In fact, it’s not about your child at all. It’s about the Creator–the Maker of all things–and it’s a source of joy and wonder over His goodness, creativity, and might. He is worthy of praise.
