Embroidery

Corrie Ten Boom was an amazing Christian. During World War II, she was put into a Concentration camp, along with her father and sister, for hiding Jews in their house. When she miraculously made it out of the Concentration camp, she traveled around the world spreading the love of Jesus.
During her talks, she would embroider. After she was finished, she would hold up her embroidery and she would say, "Does God always grant us what we ask for in prayers? Not always. Sometimes he says 'No.' That is because God knows what we do not know. God knows all. Look at this piece of needlework. The wrong side is chaos. But look at the beautiful picture on the other side-the right side." When she turned her piece of embroidery around, a crown was revealed and she said, "We see now the wrong side; God sees His side all the time. One day we shall see the embroidery from His side, and thank Him for every answered and unanswered prayer."

Corrie might also recite this poem that was written by Grant Colfax Tullar:
"My life is but a weaving betwixt my God and me;
I do not choose the colors He worketh steadily.
Oft times 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 unfold the pattern and explain the reason why.
For the dark threads are as needful in the Weaver's skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned."

Deuteronomy 31:6
New International Version (NIV)

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
