And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 ~ KJV)
Have you ever tried to put a 1000 piece puzzle together....alone? Yeah, it can be quite frustrating. Interestingly, it may not have started that way. When you saw the box, you probably thought you could tackle it with no problem, but once all of the pieces were placed on the table, that thought soon faded. This scenario reminds me of something. Hmmmmmmm...I know...LIFE!
Often, it seems like life is just a lot of little pieces we are trying to fit together. These pieces are meant for us to see the bigger picture known as purpose. Like a puzzle, life can be quite frustrating and 'puzzling' (no pun intended). It is through the frustration we must remember while not yet put together; all of the pieces are designed to work together for a perfect fit.
Part of the trouble with puzzle pieces is that we try to put them together without any assistance. Contrary to public opinion, it is okay to ask for help. The weakness shows up when we refuse to admit help is needed. Of course, you must pray about who you allow to touch the pieces to your puzzle. Remember, every tear you shed is a piece of the puzzle. Every moment of frustration is a piece of the puzzle. Every victory you experience is a piece of the puzzle.
As you move forward in putting the pieces of life together, don't be distracted by the thoughts of the enemy telling you the pieces will never fit, you're running out of time, or you don't have what it takes to finish the puzzle to see the bigger picture. Remember it's ALL working together for your good!
Blessings....Genahrie
