"That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father and of Christ."
Knitting in scripture is a metaphor to describe Gods creative relationship with us. I love to crochet which is similar to knitting. I think about this scripture often when I am crocheting afghans, scarves, slippers, and toys for those who seem to need a little comfort; the creative language to share the love of God. I am reminded how each stitch brings us closer to God and in turn to each other, and how connected we all really are to the one, "In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Colossians 2:3
