I wrote this in November when I was just over seven months pregnant. Luke was moving a lot inside me and I often meditated on verses about how God knows us in the womb.
This is a story for Luke, so he will always know
that he was created by a God who delights in him.
Knitting
Project
November

Have you ever seen
someone knitting? It’s really an amazing
sight. Usually the knitter picks a quiet
spot – a favorite chair, a park bench, sometimes a seat on the bus. Next to them, you’ll notice a bag chock-full
of supplies. A tangle of yarn spills out
of a bulging canvas bag and you wonder, ‘What can they make with that jumble of
stuff?’ The knitter has a plan. He can see the finished work in his mind
already – even when it just looks like rainbow spaghetti to you and me.
Watch
the knitter’s fingers now. All ten
fingers have a job to do. They work
together to move those needles quickly. It’s
a
It
puts a smile on the knitter’s face to imagine the person who will enjoy the
finished work. The size will be just
right. The color and design will be
unique. This gift will be just what’s needed,
right on time, wonderfully made. For now
though, the knitter is having fun creating something new. Sitting and knitting, happy being close with
his work of art. Making the gift makes
him as happy as sharing the gift when it’s complete.
Luke
David,
You
are that gift. God created your inmost
being – your soul, your mind, your body, and your emotions. God’s Word says that He knit you together in
your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13). God
made you with so much care and love. He
made you the way you are for a reason.
God has a plan for your life and He wants to be close to you now, just
like He was close to you when He was making you inside your mama. God’s Word also says, “…from my mother’s
womb, you have been my God.” (Psalm
22:10). God has been with you from the
very, very beginning, Luke, and He will never leave you. Let Him be your God forever.
