YOU KNOW ME

Psa 139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Psa 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Strongs Concordance:

Wrought
“Needle work, embroider”
This says to me that you meticulously, intentionally embroidered me, the essence of who I am. I can see you bent over the cloth that will be me, needle and thread in hand, creating, single stitch by single stitch a beautiful custom made, one of a kind tapestry that is me.
I was not created in a slappety bang, “that’s good enough” way. You don’t create slappety bang things.


Strongs Concordance:
Continuance
“A time period”

It takes time to create me. In fact, it takes a life time to create who I am. The metaphor of stitch by stitch means that I am ever changing, always growing. It means that I am not who I was, but who I am now, is not who I will be. I, at death, will still be in process, finished but unfinished, complete but incomplete, beautiful but not as beautiful as I would have been had I continued to live.
