The word for "plans" in the Hebrew is makhashabah, but it means much more than just planning. It is a careful, intricate, and imaginative weaving of a fabric. That fabric is your life. The greatest craftsman of the universe is expertly working with different colors and textures of events in your life to produce a work of art.
Every victory and every defeat, every joy, sorrow, gain or loss is woven into your life to produce a masterpiece of beauty. The red threads of your wounds and the shining gold thread of God's work are all found interwoven with the thick black threads of hate and destruction, while thin silver threads of God's answers bind up the darkness of evil.
All the good and all the bad are expertly woven into a unique tapestry of God's love for you. Your life is a display of the immeasurable goodness and love of God for you. Sometimes we can not see the beauty of a work of art because we are too close to it. When we stand back and see the work from afar, we see the whole picture and just how beautiful it truly is.
God is crafting you into a masterpiece. Trust the Master Artist to create in you a beautiful tapestry of love.
