Does God Crochet? So, what if He does?

God desires us to be real and authentic! The Bible says that we are knit in our mother’s womb, (Psalm 139:13). That word ‘knit’ in the original Hebrew language is closer to the word crochet. My sister used to crochet these beautiful blankets and clothes. I used to watch her take those needles to twist and loop the yarn that would end up making a cool sweater. Have you ever seen the double helix in a DNA strand? It looks like a twisted ladder of loops and turns. God crocheted our DNA; He knit us in our mother’s womb. Each one of us received an inimitable, unique DNA code at conception created from God’s magnificent handiwork. He made us with a purpose to be used in distinctive ways; however, when we are inauthentic or fake we go against the handiwork of God’s knitting. We are unique. We are not like everyone else. We are not like the rest of the world. By contrast to the world, we are made in the image of God yet with our own crocheted DNA. So, why do we put up the façade? Why do we try to be like others? Is this not hindering our walk in the journey of life? Here is the reality… Get real with God! He is the one who created us, and He is the one we need to impress. James 4:8 declares, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” Where are you with God? How long has it been since you had a conversation with Him? Draw near to Him. Open up your heart to Him – just talk to God. He knows you better than anyone, and He cares for you more than anyone! (1Pet 5:7).
