The Divine Weaver

Perspective is such a powerful thing, and when you realise that God is actually in control of all things, it can be just the life line you need to make it through the tough times. We often forget that God sees things that we know nothing about, and the older I get the more I believe that everything happens for a reason. It may be years before we see the reasons why we go through what we do, and we may never truly understand some things, but we just need to look for the gold dust that is buried in the mud, and remember that God's tapestry is so much bigger and brighter than ours.

The Divine Weaver

My life is but a weaving
Between my Lord and me;
I cannot choose the colours,
He works it steadily.

Sometimes he weaves sorrow
And I, in foolish pride,
Forget that he sees the upper,
And I, the underside.

Not till 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 skilful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern he has planned.
