A Crazy Jigsaw World

It’s like this. For all my life I’ve been striving to put the Puzzle together. I’ve examined the pieces very closely and done my best to match them, and gone on with new pieces and new struggles and difficulties and fit them together and felt like I’ve accomplished something, like I’ve finally got it together, a picture of what life is all about. And then a gentle breeze stirs; or, if you will – a great storm; and my puzzle crumbles. After a few experiences like this, I’ve come to realize that none of the pieces I’ve tried to connect match. I am no more than a puzzle piece myself, who can only fit into what God has designed. If I let go, and trust, the little world I’m in will connect to the other little worlds around me. And then I will remember that my life matters. And that I am just a small part of the Big Picture.
