I remember the first time I watched her nimble fingers stitch a mess of “X’s” into a masterpiece.

As a little girl, I loved watching my grandmother cross stitch. She always sat in her recliner with her legs curled under her, leaning towards the light of the lamp. I usually sat on the floor looking at the underside of her work in progress, and it was always such a mess. Was it a basket of flowers or a bowl of fruit? Who knew? The underside was an indistinguishable mess of string and knots.

You maybe looking at your life as a jumble of frayed thread and messy knots. But there is a patient hand with nimble fingers stitching a masterpiece of your life. And you can trust Him.

Don’t judge the brilliance of His artistry from the wrong side of the fabric. He knows exactly what He’s doing.
