DIVINE DESIGN

DIVINE DESIGN.......................!!!

Sometimes we are perplexed to find out the meaning of the happenings around us and with us. No reason can be attributed ---- what is the purpose of such things! The Almighty, whom we love so dearly, gives us so much sorrow! What is behind it?
I read an article by unknown Author and got the answer that behind every happening – there is a plan on the TOP which we could not understand instantly. That is the DIVINE DESIGN!
Let me reproduce that DESIGN which can change our attitude to life:


When I was little, my mother used to sew a great deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the floor and ask what she was doing. She informed me that she was embroidering.
As from the underside I watched her work within the boundaries of the little hoop that she held in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked messy from where I sat. She’d smile at me, look down and gently say, “Son come sit on my knee.” This I did only to be surprised and thrilled to see a beautiful flower or sunset. I could not believe it, because from underneath it looked so messy.
Then mother would say to me, “My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you did not realise that there was a plan on the top. It was a design.I was only following it. Now look it from my side and you will see what I was doing.”
Many times through the years, I have looked up to heaven and said, “Father what are you doing?” He has answered, “I am embroidering your life.” I say, “But it looks like such a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can’t they all be bright?” The father seems to tell me, “My child, you go about your business, and one day I will bring you to Heaven and put you on my knee and you see the plan from my side.


Friends, let's understand the undercurrent and perform our duties diligently- We surely will be rewarded. It's difficult to understand his DESIGNS from this side.
