It is Finished and cut from the loom of life.the story it tells can no longer be added to or anything taken away. When I look back on my life I find I&#8217;m desperately unhappy with it. So much of it was not what I wanted to happen or even asked for. Others created what they wanted on the tapestry and I spent many years trying to undo some of the damage to it but now to my eyes it looks a complete shambles. I&#8217;m even ashamed of some of it. I want to tare it off the loom myself and burn it. I hate it. I hate the way it looks. I hate the knots the bare threads the holes.<br>I can&#8217;t even tell what the picture is.<br>It breaks my heart that I let people mess with my life like that. How can it ever be repaired? When I was a child I thought &#8220;why am I here? Now I think&#8221;what did I do? Did I do what I was born to do? Have I wasted everything? Was it a worthless life?<br>Yes my redeemer lives.
