Wonder: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made (Psalm 139:13-16)

In Wonder, Auggie Pullman enters middle school with a severe facial difference. He is stared at, bullied, isolated. Yet the film insists: he is fearfully and wonderfully made. The Psalmist says, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Auggie's face is not a mistake to be corrected but a life to be lived. The wonder is not despite his difference; the wonder is him—his humor, courage, family. Being wonderfully made does not mean looking like everyone else; it means being the irreplaceable you.
