The Jigsaw Puzzle Perspective

When putting together a jigsaw puzzle, we know that each piece connects to another in a meaningful way—and no piece is worthless. When we’re going through a tough time, we must remember that this is just one tiny piece of our puzzle. Without it, we would not be complete. We need all the pieces—good and bad, easy and difficult—to shape us and guide us on our uniquely individual journeys. God is the Creator of our great puzzle called life.

Everyone is fighting a very tough life battle most of the time. Failure, disappointment, frustration, exhaustion… all these difficult moments can erode our passion for life. We may have to be uncomfortable for a bit. We may have to weather some unwelcome storms.

But God has the bird’s-eye view. He has the miraculous ability to look down and see our life’s entire timeline—start to finish, beginning to end, and every single second in between. He sees the whole puzzle at once. We, on the other hand, see only the one tiny piece we seem to be stuck on right now. But He sees exactly where that piece belongs.

If we can trust a puzzle company to make sure every piece is in the box to complete the picture, then why can’t we trust God that every piece of our life is there for a reason?

We need “The Jigsaw Puzzle Perspective” as we think about our lives!
