Life is like a puzzle

Here's a little analogy God put on my
heart this week:

Life is like a puzzle, but we have to let
God put the pieces in place. When we try
to do things our own way, then we are
forcing two pieces to fit that don't
really fit and the picture is not what
it could/should be. When we don't obey
God, we are making a puzzle that has no
pieces that fit and trying to say it still
looks good. The puzzle will never be what
it is supposed to be- kind of like trying
to put a puzzle together but missing the
main pieces!

The great thing is that when
we let God put the pieces together for us,
even if we've messed it up, He will use
those pieces and make the picture turn
into what He wants us to be for His glory.



Romans 8:28:
"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."
