Knit, knit, purl, purl. The knitting pattern for the baby blanket was repeated for row after row. My fingers could practically work this pattern on their own, and left my thoughts free to think on the excitement the announcement about this expected new life generated. With each stitch, I whispered a prayer for the mother and for this little life; for a safe pregnancy and delivery of a healthy baby. And, most of all that this little life will desire to live a life for our Creator.
Right at this moment, God is forming this little one’s body, as well as its mind, personality, likes, talents, and dislikes. Dreams are also being instilled within its heart; dreams to pursue; dreams to find fulfillment and a purpose throughout its lifetime on this earth.
While we all look similar when we are born, we are each unique and oh-so-very precious to God. There are no carbon copies of human beings. We are not like car parts on an assembly line where each particular piece has to be constructed exactly alike over and over again. God has a specific pattern that He follows in the formation of each one of us.
As humans, we understand this formation of life on a rudimentary level while God sees the construction of life in all of its intricacies. There are no mistakes. There are no accidents. God is intentional in the creation of each new life.
Psalm 139:13 “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”
Before we were formed, He knew us. He designed us and throughout life, He never forgets us.
Isaiah 49: 15-16 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has
borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;….”
Psalm 139:17 “How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!”
You, dear soul, were knit together with love by our loving Heavenly Father. You are not a mistake and He has never forgotten you. Won’t you remember Him today? He’s waiting for you.
