“For the ones God foreknew he additionally predestined to be conformed to the picture of his Son, that he may well be the firstborn amongst many brothers and sisters.” Romans 8:29

“Tapestry.”

My lifestyles’s a woven tapestry, I so incessantly miss out on,The very best weaving of the loom at paintings within me.On a daily basis, I glance unfinished, and to find it onerous to grasp,My tapestry’s nice splendor in the hunt for all my Lord has deliberate.

In occasions of ache and struggling, when consider and ache collide,I lengthy to look the completed paintings, however I will be able to handiest view the bottom:A tangled internet of knots and threads, stuck up in this kind of mess,I do know His paintings’s unfinished, and in His soft palms, I leisure.His needlework is best possible, in each and every sew His love is advised,The crafting of His handiwork in invaluable threads of gold.I should consider the grasp weaver, who is aware of my lifestyles’s nice plan.So I’ll let Him sow his best possible will, although I would possibly not perceive.

My lifestyles’s a valuable tapestry that I shall stroll in religion to look,As I believe the nails as needles sow his soft love thru me.And when His paintings is completed at the topside would possibly I see,The very best symbol of my Savior, on my lifestyles’s nice tapestry.

You’re a residing tapestry—a masterpiece in development—created to authentically mirror God’s symbol and glory.

Pricey Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son to redeem me and for the reward of the Holy Spirit. Lend a hand me to comprehend I’m a piece in development and to stay my eyes on Jesus. Might His refining hearth sanctify my soul and become my persona and middle to mirror Jesus. Amen.

Earlier than you start your busy day, ask your self as of late, how can I develop into extra like Jesus? Ask the Holy Spirit that will help you to develop into extra like Jesus—to look the arena and the ones round you thru His eyes.
