GOD, the Maker of all things

“As you do not know the path of the wind, or
how the body is formed in a mother’s womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.”

Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame

Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame.

   and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.

 I and the Father are one.”

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which
God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
