God’s Embroidery
“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,” Psalm 139:15
Dana smiled when her daughter Anna looked up at the embroidery on her mother’s lap.
“Mommy, it looks like such a mess on this side!
Dana responded, “Wait ‘til you see it when it’s finished.”
Sure enough, a while later, Anna sat on her mother’s lap and saw the embroidery from the other side.
She said, “Mommy, it’s beautiful!”
Oh, the underside was still a mass of dangling threads and knots.
But the design on top was spectacular.
So many times I’ve looked up at my Heavenly Father and wondered, “Lord, what are You doing?”
The embroidery of my life looked so messy and jumbled to me. So many threads were dark.
Yet God’s Word reminds you and me that one day He will bring us up on His knee.
From there we will be able to see God’s beautiful design for our lives from HIS point of view.

God bless you Vonette for such insight; I am at peace now knowing God is working it out on HIS side and that when He is done He will show me what a beautiful life He has woven out for me. Thank you so much and God bless you.
