The Master Weaver

Sometimes life looks like the back of a tapestry—loose threads, knots, and pieces that don’t seem to make sense.

But the Weaver sees what we cannot see.

In Ephesians 3, Paul reminds us that God’s grace was not given to us simply to keep for ourselves. It was given to us to carry forward. Someone carried the good news of Jesus Christ to us, and now the baton is in our hands. The thread is in our hands.

We may not see the finished picture, but we have been given a part in what God is doing.

So take the grace you have received and carry it forward. Use the thread God has placed in your hand.

The Master Weaver is still at work. Do not lose heart.
