“Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun–blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen.” — Exod 35:25

Many young ladies make beautiful things–but do not bring them to Christ. They keep them for their own adornment. But these women brought their fine handiwork to the Lord. They spun beautiful threads to be woven into the curtains and embroideries of the tabernacle. Christian girls and women may help in many ways in preparing dwelling-places for God. They can make a place for him in their own heart. They can put touches of beauty into the lives of others. It needs not great things–but only service of truth filled with love, to please God. The threads may be coarse–but in God’s eye they will be beautiful–if love spins them.
