"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.
Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous - how well I
know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion as I was woven together in the dark of the
womb." Psalm 139: 13 - 15
I love to knit. My Aunt Fannie patiently guided my six year old hands through the basic knitting stitches years and years ago. She never fussed when I came to her with dropped stitches. She wiped away the tears of frustration and kindly admired my less-than-perfect projects.
Since then, there has rarely been a time in my life when I haven't had a knitting project going. I still occasionally drop a stitch, and my work isn't perfect, but I love the process. It stills my soul and brings a measure of peace as I watch one stitch after another begin to form into a lovely whole.
I suppose that's why I love those verses from Psalm 139. I imagine the great God, who created everything in heaven and earth, patiently, perfectly knitting together every single life in its mother's womb. Each life - unique and precious in His eyes...
