The Divine Weaver

By Becki  


Nothing much to say today except that I ran across this wonderful poem and really wanted to share. I have been struggling a lot lately with what next and why and how questions and found this at just the right time for me. I hope it reminds you all, as it did me, that I will know the answers to my questions when God wants me to know them. Be faithful, not fearful, my friends.

The Divine Weaver

My life is but a weaving

Between my Lord and me;
I cannot choose the colors
He works steadily.

Oftentimes He weaves sorrow
And I, in foolish pride,
Forget that He sees the upper
And I the underside.

Not until the loom is 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.

    Hi Becki,
    I am with you on the “what next and why.” I’m at that place too where I’m wondering what I’m supposed to be doing for Him. I’ve seen that poem before, but it is so wonderful to see it again. I’ll pray for His direction in your life.
