Puzzle Pieces





"But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand." Isaiah 64:8


Dear Friends,

As a girl I loved to put puzzles together.  Sometimes my mother would work on the puzzles with me.  It could be frustrating sometimes working on large puzzles with one hundred pieces or more. Perhaps you could get the ends put together, connect the borders.  However, getting the middle right, the heart of the puzzle all fitted together could be tedious and frustrating.

Life is like that sometimes.  The fringes, the outline, the borders are sometimes easy to connect.  However, the middle the "heart" of the matter can be impacted by so many things.  We can sometimes find ourselves unable to connect with others.  Broken relationships, broken promises and betrayed trust can leave us struggling and wandering around as though in a maze.

Thank God that He is the solution to every puzzle, any situation that may confound us.  He is able to put the pieces together.

God does this for us as individuals and He does this for us collectively as the Body of Christ.

 "But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him."   - I Corinthians 12:18 
   
"But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand." Isaiah 64:8
  
in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
