“The Tapestry”

Your life is the weaving of God’s purpose,

one thread at a time,

The hands of God weave the thread,

and select the color line.

Some days like thread are course and dark,

some days are fine and bright,

All are chosen in providence,

displayed in His true light.

No single day or colored thread,

can by itself be shown,

Only time reveals completely,

what God has always known.

Judgments passed on partial views,

by those who fear God’s work,

Expose the broken heart they bear,

and weave in threads of hurt.

Words of praise and encouragement,

are colors of true faith,

That He who has begun your work,

will finish it one day.

And on that day when weavings cease,

and colors meld into,

The worlds will witness God’s completion,

your tapestry in view.
