Stitch by Stitch

"Allow Him to gently pull you into this present moment, perhaps to see with new eyes the ways in which He is working, weaving evidence of His Presence into your daily minute, stitch by loving stitch."                                        
~Emily Freeman, Chatting at the Sky

As I was copying today's words of (in)Couragement, above, into my journal, to remind me that God is always at work in my life, the music piece from our wedding, Canon in D, was playing on Pandora radio.Strangely, I felt no sadness or regret as I listened.

 In my mind, I was able to picture myself walking down the aisle toward My Husband (Hosea 2:14-20), Jesus, the One who will and does love me unconditionally , FOREVER.

That night in December 2011, my vows and promises were made to Him, just as they were long ago when I first became a child of God, not just to my earthly husband. My Jesus knows the depth of my love for Him; knows that I would sacrifice pride and another broken marriage to serve Him, if that is what he asks of me. I am His and He is mine. Nothing can separate me from Him and I choose not to allow it. He gave His life for mine, there is no other option for me. I have forgiven, and I am forgiven.

Jesus, I long to become Your beautiful tapestry. Weave me together, stitch by stitch, with the tangled up, messy strings of my life. Only You, Lord, can undo and mend me into a "seamless" Masterpiece. It is for Your glory that I give myself, my life, to You.
