HE weaves a beautiful cloth of divine design. The weft is held together by HIS Spirit and the warp is filled with an unimaginable array of countless threads. All unique, all HIS design. I am but one single, thin, weak thread – common, simple, ordinary and easily forgotten in this bundle.

Still, HE passes me through the weft and weaves me exactly as HE intended. HIS only request? “Trust ME to know best for the majestic motifs I am creating, and for you, my child. Then, live boldly in the spot I created just for you.”

When HE places me in HIS masterpiece, HE makes opportunities to do what I was created to do, pursuing the dreams and desires HE placed in my heart. HIS sweet refrain is repeated, trust and live boldly.  And my response to HIS song is to partner with HIM. I will boldly live out the stitches allotted to me – however HE forms them.

As I do what HE asks, HE teaches me that my worth does not lie in my own strength or beauty. I have neither. Instead, my worth, my life, all I have and all I am comes completely from the work of HIS hand.

On days when my heart tells me my part is insignificant and small, and probably completely unnecessary, I hear HIM say, “I created this part for you, MY child, and you for this part. Trust ME. Partner with MY Holy Spirit and respond by boldly doing what I show you – nothing less, nothing more, nothing else. I delight in you when I see the good work we have done together!”
