The Puzzle Of Life

Most of the time we ask ourselves questions about our present situation; not knowing what to do. I believe most of ust at one time had the know how of putting together a puzzle. When we begin, the first thing we do is lookin at the picture to get an idea of how the end result will be.

By and large, everyone starts from the frame as it is a bit easier to get because of the straight edges on the pieces. Some piece seems todifficult to fit such that we have to take extra time on them.

We sometimes exchange a piece after being sure that it is in the right place, but as we continue, we find another piece that easily fits there. Have you noticed that it is so easy to use the piece that we like? We fit them in so easily.

Life to some extent is like a puzzle. It is full of pieces, but unlike the usual puzzle, we do not have a picture to look at to show us how things will turn out for us.

However, those things we really imagine and dream about do not always come to pass in just the way we thought they would, instead, something uncalled for happens. Is that really necessary for our lives puzzle? I believe that some occurrences in our lives which seem unimportant and crude have its own part in the puzzle.
The Bible says "all things work together for good to them that l love God" So have it in mind that whatever you are passing through (good/bad) is in the will of God for us and will work for good finally, so far you are on the lord's side.

Have you gone through psychological problems because there are pieces of your life's puzzle that you wonder about? They do not fit into the picture you've capture in your mind. You don't really know what to do with those pieces.
Where does disappointment fit in? Where does rape fit in? Where does heartbreak fit in? Where does the death of both or any of one's parents fit in? Where does lack of finances for academic life fit in? Where does spiritual conflict fit in? The list is endless. All these pieces are hard but most of us had gone through some if not all of it, we can cling to the assurance that "all things work together for good."

God created all, so i don't think he needs our help in order to make things work out. All the needs is for us to hand over that piece to him and trust that he is working out something for our good because he alone has the picture of the future which is the end product of the puzzle. Just tell him you don't know where that piece fits and he is ready to do it. Doing this, we do not have to bother anymore since we know what somewhere down the line those piece will fit into the picture that God had wished for us since creati6n.
