When you put together a puzzle, you study the pieces-shape, size, color. You can look at the box with the finished picture to know what section it may go. Sometimes the pieces don’t seem like they fit, like they were put in the wrong box.

We are all pieces in the big puzzle called life. We have many pieces in our lives that may not seem to fit together, so we try piece after piece, even ones that we know won’t work, to see what fits. Sometimes it seems like we’ve tried the same piece over and over, but it’s also about timing. God’s timing is always perfect. We are here at this time of life for a reason and all the pieces are perfectly arranged. All the pieces come together to make something beautiful. We can’t see the full picture, but God knows the end from the beginning.

We rely on the pieces that are closest to us to make the bigger picture complete. But we also rely on those pieces that don’t seem to fit in our lives to make us who we are. We also can’t get rid of the pieces we don’t like because the picture will not be complete.

The puzzle also only is done when all the pieces are interlocked with each other, touching at least 2 other pieces. We have to work together to make it complete by staying connected. If not, we’ll all just be lonely single pieces again.

We are all important pieces of the big puzzle of life!
