The Weaver My life is but a weaving Between my Lord and me, I cannot choose the colors He worketh steadily. Oftimes He weaveth sorrow, And I in foolish pride Forget He sees the upper And I, the underside. Not till the loom in silent And the shuttles cease to fly Shall God unroll the canvas And explain the reason why. The dark threads are as needful In the Weaver's skillful hand As the threads of gold and silver In the pattern He has planned. - Author Unknown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Little Note from Cobblestone Road Ministries: Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. The Bible says, "All things..." Yet Christians are not exempt from feeling pain or frustration at times. They ask, "Why me?" But that is not the right question. The question that should be asked is, "What is the Lord trying to teach me through all of this?" You see if we would only trust Him in all things, we would know that He works all things out for our good. He is weaving a beautiful tapestry. 1Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Every gifted artist knows that a good painting requires light hues and dark hues to make the painting a masterpiece. A tapestry needs the same. It isn't until our life on earth is over that we are able to see the beautiful and complete outcome. Faithful is the Father's love-- Faithful to keep us. For the Christian is in Christ Jesus and there we abide. There are many lessons to be learned as we journey toward Heaven and every one of us is living on borrowed time. This life is but a drop of vapour-- literally-- in comparison to the eternity that awaits us on the other side. Whatever you may be going through today, know that Christ Jesus promised never to leave you, nor forsake you and that God works all things for our good. Trust Him-- for He will never fail you! Believe His Word-- know His promises are true. To every Believer, Jesus Christ promises life eternal. Do you know Him as your personal Savior? He died for your sins. He loves you!
