Puzzle

My wife worked on a 3,000 piece puzzle…it got increasingly beautiful as various images within the puzzle came together…and it was spectacular when all the pieces were finally put in place.

Which got me thinking about our lives, the puzzles we really are, and our Creator and Puzzleer who knows how each piece fits together and is putting each piece into place:

“Puzzle”

I’m a puzzle coming together
with a very special design,
It’s a beautiful picture waiting,
For it’s artwork from the Divine.

Some pieces at times are missing,
As I try to do things myself,
But He whispers for me to trust Him,
“And don’t just depend on yourself.”

Pieces start coming together,
In a unique and purposeful way,
Put together by our Creator,
Magnificence fully displayed.

It’s good that I finally pulled back,
And let Him put pieces in place,
Though I haven’t yet seen the picture,
I’m a reflection of His love and grace.

I’m enormously awed and grateful that the puzzle I am (based on God’s design) continues to come together even with the many times I may have corrupted a piece, lost a piece, or gotten pieces way out of place. 

And yet He’s been patient with me, and those pieces are repaired or found, and work on the puzzle continues.

So glad the puzzle that I am is not solely left in my hands.

I’m thankful and blessed.
