Hi, today is quite special because I will be sharing what I learnt this morning while praying with hubby.

As we were praying I heard myself saying -“that we may understand the pattern, plan and purpose of our lives”.

I began to meditate on this 3 P’s:

-Pattern: the shape of a thing.
-Plan: how to go about becoming the shape and retaining it.
-Purpose: the WHY factor. What will the plan and pattern be used for? The end goal.

Our pattern is the journey and process of our lives.

Some of us go through tough times than most, others are blessed from a young age, while a few are blessed abundantly in certain areas and are working in other areas.

Being upset with the pattern our journey takes, will not change a thing! But we could pause and think deeply; we will understand better.

The Maker of these patterns is not interested for one pattern to outshine the other, rather He wants all patterns to come out beautifully at the end.

Few patterns are at the edges, it’s purpose is to protect the other patterns from loosening.
Other patterns are seen at the beginning till the end and it’s purpose is to lead the other patterns.
Some patterns just come out briefly as a dash of colour; they are seen in few places and seem to fit right in. The purpose of these kind of patterns is to connect certain people and move on or out of the scene.
Their lives might seem short but without them our stories are incomplete.
Some patterns are rough at the edges and sometimes rough when touched, their purpose is to remind us that we all are imperfect and are still work in progress.

In all these patterns and plan, the Maker has one goal – to produce a masterpiece where all patterns are unique and yet an intricate part of the other.

Today as you read this, we want you to take a pause and identify :

-Your pattern and purpose.
-The pattern and purpose of those around you.
– How we all can together be the masterpiece our Creator and Maker wants us to be..

Love,
