I was praying for my family in late December, 2018, and I
felt like I was having trouble putting together a puzzle. How am I supposed to help my family when some
of them aren’t even speaking to me anymore?
Father God broke into my fretting. He asked “Will you trust me with your puzzle?”
I was a little girl, my arms full of puzzle pieces, some
dropping to the ground as I desperately tried to piece the picture together.
“Will you trust me with your puzzle?”
You won’t lose the pieces? Mel and Billy, Owen and William?
“No, I’m keeping them here, in my heart.”
Relieved, I thrust the numerous pieces to the Father. He gathered each one, and placed them one by
one into his heart. There was a glow, a
warm glow emanating from his chest as he held my puzzle pieces in that intimate
place in his body. I knew my family was safe there, safer than I could keep them.
And that I was safe there, too.
Matthew 11:28-30 “Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden?
Then come to me. I will refresh your
life, for I am your oasis. Simply join
your life (your puzzle) with mine. Learn
my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in
me. For all that I require of you will
be pleasant and easy to bear.’
