Suffering one, storm-tossed, uncomforted,
look, I am setting your gemstones in silvery metal
and your foundations with sapphires.
I will make your towers of rubies,
and your gates of beryl,
and all your walls of precious jewels.
All your children will be disciples of the LORD —
I will make peace abound for your children.
As we said, our lives are a
tapestry woven by God. As seen through our eyes, we may think our
tapestry is boring, woven by mostly drab colors with a little texture
here and there. However, when seen through the eyes of God, we are as
precious jewels, brilliant bold colors for we are made in God’s
image. We tend to dwell on our sins, the negative things we’ve
done. We carry around so much baggage that we don’t have to. You
have just seen that all of the disciples had sin in their lives.
These were the people who were closest to Jesus. Yet everyone of them
disappointed him in the end. Despite their sins, they went on to
create the church, preach the good news to others. Like them, you too
are forgiven for your sins. Leave them behind. Go forth knowing that
you life is a beautiful tapestry, woven by God, just for you.
