Sometimes life feels like a puzzle with missing pieces, but it’s good to know there’s someone bigger than us.

Don’t give up

Perhaps you had the childhood experience of putting a puzzle together with an older sibling or a parent. They may have helped you by pointing, hinting, or telling you where to place a piece. As you grew up, you progressed from a ten-piece puzzle to one with one thousand pieces. Now you can complete a three-thousand-piece puzzle. Unless . . . unless you think a piece is missing.

Why can’t you find that one piece to finish out this section? Where is it? You wonder. But you don’t stop! Even though you’re certain that piece is gone, you continue to put the puzzle together. Why do you still work on a puzzle if you are missing part of it?

Putting Life Together

Life is like that. It might feel like it’s coming together nicely. But then something happens and suddenly you feel an empty space, a void. You think to yourself that life is incomplete. But just like your older sibling or parent when you were young, God is there to guide you. He knows what to do about the missing piece. God already knows what your life puzzle looks like and he will help you piece it together.
