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.  

Create in me a pure heart O God……………………………………………………..……….Psalms 51:10

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!

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.
