The Lord would say to you that He knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb and your frame was not hidden from Him. His eyes saw your substance yet unformed and you were fearfully and wonderfully made. Now you have returned to your Creator,rest sweet one as you bask in His presence. PSALMS
