Right Side Up toward God
Illustration★★★★Corrie ten Boom had a good way of explaining the perspective we need when confronting problems in life that puzzle us: “Picture a piece of embroidery placed between you and God, with the right side up toward God. Man sees the loose, frayed ends; but God sees the pattern.”
The point
God sees the finished pattern of our lives from above while we see only the tangled, loose threads from below, so we must trust Him amid confusion.
