Yesterday, I was introduced to this essential protein that I have had in me all my life and knew nothing about! In fact, its there in you, and in everyone who ever lived!

My friend tells me, if we were to make a man with brick and mortar, Laminin, the protein would be the mortar. It is the protein that holds everything in our body together. Really? There is enough and more about Laminin on the internet.

Laminin is a protein found in the “extracellular matrix”, the sheets of protein that form the substrate of all internal organs also called the “basement membrane”. It has four arms that can bind to four other molecules. The three shorter arms are particularly good at binding to other laminin molecules, which is what makes it so great at forming sheets. The long arm is capable of binding to cells, which helps anchor the actual organs to the membrane.

And the shape has created waves everywhere! Though the arms are flexible and the structure can keep changing, the basic shape is the shape of the ‘Crucifix’!

Sheer coincidence and an evolutionary accident, some might still proclaim, but I am sure there are a lot of people out there that have been flabbergasted! People are seeing it as a signature of GOD! A witness of creation to a ‘Perfect Designer’!

What’s more, Laminin is extremely important to making sure that your overall body structures hold together. If laminin isn’t produced correctly, your muscles may form improperly, giving you a form of muscular dystrophy. Or you may just fall apart in a way similar to aging, a condition called “progeria”!!

Note, Jesus is being talked about in Colossians 1:17 “He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” Amazing! Mind blowing! For many of you, this is more than a glimpse - of the truth.
