I used to watch my grandmother knit. She was fast and could knit a sweater in no time, or as it seemed to me.
I understand that the word knit is a medical term used to describe the mending of a broken bone. This is important because some of us become a "slip-stitch" and become unraveled in love and don't keep the faith!
Too many are like those stitches my grandmother used to miss and would have to start over. Of course, when she finished, her knitting looked perfect. You couldn't have told that anything had gone wrong.
If you stand in need of repentance and restoration to the body, God stands ever ready to forgive and restore.
Do you ever think about the eternal glory that awaits the faithful child of God? I suppose when one has a degenerative disease such as Parkinson's or Multiple Sclerosis or ALS, such may tend to dwell on the future promises of God. After all, healthy folks are busy living their lives and probably don't think that often of future glory.
Years ago, I spoke at a Youth Meeting and mentioned when the sun shone through the clouds it reminded me of the glory of God. Several years later, a young woman approached me and asked if I remembered saying that. She said she would always remember the glory of God when she saw this.
So the next time you feel like you can't bear the burdens of life, remember there is waiting for you eternal glory. Romans 8:18 says, "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us.
All the diseases are temporary. All problems are temporary. All suffering is temporary. However, God's glory is eternal.
