HIS TASSLES

**Posted:** April 20th, 2009, 3:01 pm

I've sort of adopted "tassels" and "fringe" as my goals... as what I hope to be...
Why?
I'll explain.

"You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by going after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes."
-Numbers 15:39

God tells us several times to use tassels or fringe (attatched to our clothing) to remind us of his commands, but I also see them as reminders of His love. I found a website (www.ancient-hebrew.org) and it has an interesting definition for "fringe". Fringe, in Hebrew, is "Tsiytsiyt". The following is what I found on the site.

"The word tsiytsiyt is derived from the root tsiyts meaning a blossom. A blossom is a flower that grows on a tree and is the beginning of the fruit. Just as the blossom turns into a fruit, the fringes on the Hebrews garments are also there to bring about fruit in the sense of doing the commands."

I hope that I can be a tassel of Christ, a reminder to others of His love and His commands. I hope that He uses me and helps me blossom abundantly and be fruitful through Him. I hope that I can use my blog to share my thoughts and be an encouragement.

So, readers, let's all work at becoming tassels of Christ.

AND, let's use our lyrics to better explain and share His Word with the world!
God bless!
