What Piece of the Puzzle are You?
by Jo Ann Chevalier May 2015
There is one human race, similar to a puzzle, made up of so many
different people and cultures. Each person
trying to figure out where they fit in and how they will figure out their
life’s purpose.
For some it will take years to figure out their piece of the
puzzle. Others will get it really fast
and are able to live this life with purpose, prosperity and love. But what happens to those who are still
trying to figure things out? Who do they
turn to and where do they search for answers?
I remember a bible story about the Good Samaritan. People kept passing by a person in need and
didn’t bother to help. Finally a Good Samaritan stopped, took care of the
person in need and paid for his shelter. I had to ask myself this question, am
I the Good Samaritan or the person just passing by never stopping to help
someone else? What part of life’s puzzle
am I?
Am I the corner of the puzzle
that reaches out in only two directions to help others? Am I a middle piece that extends and reaches
out to many people? Or am I that last
piece of the puzzle that is still trying to figure out where I fit in even
though there is only one spot left to fill?
Life can be like a puzzle, living
each day, trying to put all the pieces together. When life seems to fall apart you choose
another piece of the puzzle to find your way again. You may not be the corner piece or the middle
piece. The point is that you figure out your own puzzle pieces of this life and
live it with a purpose to the best of your ability!
I love putting puzzle pieces together and admiring the finished
product. It is even better to have a
group of people working on the same puzzle and of the same mind. Life could be so much simpler if we joined
together as puzzle pieces and helped each other fit into their own unique spaces.
I long for the day when we can all work together as one and live life as one beautiful
complete puzzle masterpiece.

Challenge: Figure out what type
of puzzle piece you are? Ask God to help
you complete/recognize your life’s purpose and then help someone else do the same!
Work of Service
Let’s all remember to help those that can’t help
themselves….sometimes we just need to look around with an open heart and give
to those that are less fortunate.
