GOD'S KNITTING JOB: THINKING ABOUT INTIMACY WITH GOD.

As I sit here at my computer, it occurred to me that God does knitting.  No God does not do it like your ancestor or parent.  God does it with a unique stands of stuff called DNA, and the Psalmist described this process well when He wrote:

You created my inmost being.
You knit me together
In my mother's womb.
 
Take time out to think about what this means.  First, it means no child ever born is an accident.  They are not a mistake.  The designer of the Universe took the time to put together the parts of two people, loving or not, and He worked the miracle called you.
 
Second, the circumstances of conception do not make the person who was conceived any less valuable once they discovered this planet in the form of a baby. And the circumstances of conception do not make them, some how, "less than" anyone else.  Like everyone who makes it into this world, you are God's Miracle... just like every other child.  I know this because, as someone once said, "God don't make no junk."
 
Third, this knitting job is symbolic of something very important, as you journey through life. You are God's work in progress.  He is not finished with you.  He has formed you for a purpose, and if you seek God in prayer, through Christ, He will reveal your "purpose filled life." He will redeem you.  He will sanctify you... declare you holy, blameless and free from all accusation. He will perfect you into Christ image, in time, as the Holy Spirit writes God's laws on your heart and places them in your mind.  Just as He knit you together in your Mother's womb, even so He will combine all the elements of your experiences to produce life in you.
 
Finally, your Creator- who loves you- is one who has made it clear that you have great worth apart from your performance because Christ gave His life for you, and He has therefore imparted great value to you.  You are deeply loved by the Lord...completely forgiven and fully pleasing to the Lord... AND you are absolutely complete in Christ Jesus.  Yup!  God has done, is doing and will do a great knitting job for you... if you surrender to God, through Christ daily.
 
Now, go on out and be blessed today.
Especially Today.

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Image
Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
