LIFE IS A PUZZLE

A few years ago I was putting together a puzzle to keep my mind sharp. It was my habit to try and put all the outside pieces together first as much as possible. This puzzle however, I had also started doing some of the middles as I saw them fit together. As I continued to work the edges, the pieces were not coming together as they should. Something was definitely off. Time went on as I tried and tried to figure out why it was not coming together. I have to tell you both sides of the puzzle tops looked very similar in color. One night as I was looking at the outside it occurred to me that maybe they were not in the right places. Taking a portion of them apart, I began to re-work the pieces. Eventually, I figured out that I had them all wrong. Some belonged on the other side of the puzzle, I had them reversed! As I continued to re-work the puzzle, the Lord spoke to my heart. Sometimes you think things are supposed to go a certain way. It may look like it’s the right way, but it is not. Only My Way is the right way. Follow me and I will put the pieces of your life together in the perfect order. Then at the end of your time on Earth and you are with Me, you will see how My Way was perfect. So, allow Him to piece it all together. You may not see the big picture, BUT God does! Trust Him! He is the Master of fitting the pieces of our lives together!!
