Reflection

Galatians 4 reminds us that we are no longer slaves to the law, but have been adopted as children of God. Our identity and worth are found in Christ, not in our own performance or adherence to rules. As we weave, we can reflect on the freedom we have in Christ and the beautiful tapestry of God’s love and grace that we are a part of.
