Have you ever woke up on a Sunday Morning and put on a dress only to find threads hanging at the bottom?  

My grandmother was a seamstress and most of my clothing was custom made. Sometimes, the threads or fabric would unravel, leaving small bits needing to be clipped.  

Our lives can be like that dress. Sometimes, everything is in place, but there are just a few loose ends that need tightening up. It's so tempting to just clip the thread or ravel, but one wrong clip & the masterpiece could unravel. 

Our goal today is to ask God what needs to be clipped & what needs to be hemmed. Go ahead. Close your eyes right now for a just a few seconds and ask, "Father, what needs to be clipped out of my life and what do I need to hem up?"  

Doing things God's way will always end with a great outcome. Don't be so eager to clip it off. Ask Him.  

God builds His Kingdom this way as well. We are made in His likeness and must take full responsibility for our part.  

John 15 :: NIV. "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
