The Weaver

Favorite Poetry

My life is but a weaving, between my God and me,

I do not choose the colors, He worketh steadily.

Ofttimes he weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride

Forget He sees the upper, and I the underside.

Not till the loom is silent, and the shuttles cease to fly,

Will God unroll the canvas, and explain the reasons why

The dark threads are as needful in the skillful weaver's hand

As threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.



He knows, He loves, He cares,

Nothing this truth can dim.

He gives His very best to those

Who leave the choice with Him.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The idea of the canvas is very beautiful and true. But choice is always shared between us humans and God. The canvas is what we make with his help. And life is what we make from what He gives to us. This is how I nderstand it.
