Re:Verse passage – Psalm 139:13-16 pt. 2 (day two)
You wove me in my mother’s womb. Vs. 13b
Does anyone tat anymore? My maternal grandmother was amazing at this art. There wasn’t a place in her house that you wouldn’t see examples of her work, either finished or in process. She was forever tatting. I look at these pieces now and wonder how it’s even possible. It looks so fussy and difficult, but elegant and beautiful at the same time. I was thinking of that process when I re-read Psalm 139 this morning. Every fiber of your being was woven with a degree of care that is incomprehensible. Your life matters. If we are going to truly study what it means to made in the image of God, we must start from the beginning. As I look at those examples of lace doilies, I see my grandmother’s work and love. As you look into the eyes of a child, a stranger, and especially yourself, remember the Lord was intimately involved in shaping you. Make sure to take note of his handiwork and love.
