Tapestry -- Sunday's sermon

Proverbs 3: 5 and 6  Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. 

Our lives are often like this. All we can see are the knots and tangles and mess like on the back side of a tapestry. On the other side is a beautiful picture. and it all makes sense. God's perspective is everything he is doing in our lives. the darkest threads on the back are sometimes the most beautiful parts on the front. -- Corrie Ten Boom

Count trials great joy because God is working on you through the circumstance and he is closer to you than ever during trials. James 1:2 and 3

We get glimpses of the picture in hindsight. When we look back on bad events we often see those are the times God has done the most in our lives.

The greater the trust the more beautiful the picture on the other side of the tapestry

Gods' goal is to take us to maturity. not just from birth to death

When I lean on my own understanding, it is usually wrong. Trust the one who gave us his life and has never been unfaithful

The more we trust, the more we grow into who he wants us to be.. 

Philippians 1:6 He will complete his work in you until the day Jesus comes again.
