Puzzled?!

Sometimes things that puzzle us draw us into the puzzle we are attempting to solve. Instead of working the puzzle, we become puzzled! Fragmented! We want for a box lid to see how this puzzle goes back together!
Notice in the above puzzle the one child working the puzzle on solid ground, outside the puzzle. He is speaking to and handing a puzzle piece to a girl standing on/in the puzzle and acutally casting a shadow on the wall of the picture. The next child is running up the street!
Much the way the above children are drawn into the actual puzzle, Christ, the creator of us and the world that often puzzles us, entered His creation and not only became part of the puzzle, but became the missing piece. He completes us! Sometimes we expect our mate to fill that void, but that is placing entirely too much responsibility on their shoulders. If we will allow ourselves to completed in Christ, allowing our mate to be completed in Christ, we can live in fellowship and supporting one another when we stumble. Otherwise, we are fallen and we can't get up!
