And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 NIV

It takes time to finish a Jigsaw Puzzle and patiently place each piece where it belongs. It requires skill and determination to finish an entire board. Pieces must be joined together for a purpose. Without the other, a connection cannot be made and the puzzle will not be complete. 

Life is like a puzzle. We gather pieces of purpose, and try to place them together. We forget it takes time to see the entire picture and sometimes become frustrated when pieces of our lives are hard to place together. We often discover empty holes; spaces in our hearts that need to be filled. 

Often, we look for what’s missing… We search for what will complete us and become weary when we cannot find it on our own. But God lovingly holds what waits to be discovered. He fills our hearts with the power of love and prepares us to understand HE is the missing piece! As we put out trust in Him, we begin to see how everything fits together...

Perhaps we need to realize God is preparing us to receive His blessings. He will remind us we have been connected for His will. He will help us remember we have been created for His great purpose. We must seek Him with all of our hearts and allow ourselves to remember who is working for the good. And we must connect with the Father! He is the ONE who holds the missing piece of wholeness.

Dear God, Thank you for being in charge of our days! Forgive us when we forget we have been created for Your greatness. We will faithfully wait while You piece together our lives and reveal Your plan in the timing of Your will. Help us remember who holds the missing piece when we don’t know where to find it. We will love You with all of our hearts and never forget how very much we are loved by YOU. Amen
