INTRICATE BEAUTY

PATTERN OF INTRICATE BEAUTY

A pattern is used to give a shape, model or fashion to something.  The pattern is used as a guide to form the design.  A pattern can also have various pieces that must be woven or knitted together to form the design.  In putting the pieces together it requires some stitching, blending and mending.  

So likewise at times God fashions our life through the pathways of joy and sorrow. His design is a pattern of intricate beauty ordained to do good works. 

In designing a pattern all the pieces may not be of the same cloth or quality.  It may take several styles and colors, but when blended together, it is created into a masterpiece of beauty. 

TODAY'S FOCUS:  WORKMANSHIP

You and I are considered His workmanship created in Christ to perform goods works. He will weave it with joy as well as sorrow.  At the end it will shine out like gold because it was designed by purpose.  

Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

You are fashioned according to the pattern.  You will and must endure the process to bring you into the full finished product of His workmanship.  It may require some tearing, cutting and blending with others of a different culture, background or likeness, but at the end he will create His own craft to work for His plan even before the world began.  

Remember, you are a pattern of intricate beauty.  Rest assured and do not be dismayed or even discouraged.  Do not fear the end will reveal and reflect the desired results for you and God.  Every detail including both the good and the bad are part of the pattern and process to form you into a masterpiece.  Let Him work in you through Christ so His beauty can be seen in you. 

God Bless you and Keep the Faith!
