Psalm 139:14
No individual piece seemed to mean very much, but with time and patience more than a thousand pieces of differing shapes and colors began to tell a story. In the end, it took every piece to paint the picture, and each piece had a part in it. With the pieces connected, the beautiful picture told a compelling story.
God created the world to work much like our jigsaw puzzle. No one of us means much without the others. Even the greatest leaders in history would not have been leaders without a connection with someone to lead. But when connected together, a picture is painted, and a story is told. The picture is incomplete without every piece in place, and the story is lacking unless all the pieces are placed together just as God designed them.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made to fit within it all. Yet, you are incomplete without a connection with the others surrounding you. And no person surrounding you is complete unless they are connected to you. It takes us all to complete God’s masterpiece.
Then, with pieces connected, God’s beautiful picture tells his compelling story.
You are the light of the world,
Richard +
