"For my concern is that their hearts may be
encouraged as they are knit together in love,
that they may come to have all the abounding wealth
and blessings of assured conviction of understanding,
and that they may become progressively more
intimately acquainted with and may know more
definitely and accurately and thoroughly that
mystic secret of God which is
Christ the Anointed One."
Colossians 2:2
Museum of the Bible Store
My life is but a weaving
Between my God and me.
I cannot choose the colors
He weaveth steadily.
Oft' times He weaveth sorrow;
And I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper
And I the underside.
Not 'til the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Will God unroll the canvas
And reveal the reason why.
The dark threads are needful
In the weaver's skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
He knows, He loves, He cares;
Nothing this truth can dim.
He gives the very best to those
Who leave the choice to Him.
(1892-1983)
Dutch Christian survivor of
World War II and the author of
"The Hiding Place"
