Perhaps when we open up a box containing a large jigsaw puzzle and examine the pieces, we might be tempted to think that some of the pieces are less interesting and less significant than the others. But have you ever put together a jigsaw puzzle and found in the end that you were missing just one or two pieces? Suddenly, what may have seemed uninteresting and insignificant, becomes extremely important. The picture isn't complete without all of the pieces in their place and it becomes blatantly obvious to anyone who looks at it.We might consider that God's plan for our world is much like this jigsaw puzzle. God has created each one of us with a plan and a purpose for our lives. Each of us has a unique contribution to make to our world and no one else has the same abilities, skills, personality, relationships, etc. to fill our place.
Often we may feel like we have nothing of significance to offer, or that it isn't necessary for us to step up to the plate because someone else will do it. But the reality is, much like the unfinished puzzle, when we fail to fulfill our role, the overall picture (God's plan) remains incomplete.
What role has God created fill?
Are you doing your part?
