To the Lord we’re all a work in progress, a work he is only beginning to shape yet shape us he does. His word and his teachings help to mould us into becoming better people; his strength guides us through all that we do, his love holds us up where we would fall, and protects us when we are threatened and this is only the beginning.
He began to work with us before our own beginning in our mother’s womb, before our own mother knew about us and cherished us we were known and cherished by the Lord.
‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you’ Jeremiah 1:5
Isaiah asks us: Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? (40:21) He is telling us that the Lord our God has created everything; everything that ever was, everything that ever is and everything that will become.
We know from John 1:1 that ‘In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,’
A simpler version than even this can be found
‘In the beginning God.’ Genesis 1:1
Do we really need anymore? before during or after it doesn’t matter, because through it all there is only one constant and that is God. Maybe that’s a message we need to begin to learn. Through all the lessons and trials life gives us and through the knowledge we gain maybe it allows us to open our heart just enough to the Lord, so that he has the beginning of something in us to make us truly beautiful.
