Puzzle Pieces

Puzzle pieces are made to fit together. In my family, we LOVE puzzles. Every Christmas we receive a new one and start on it, usually 1000 pieces (I'm actually not a huge puzzle person. . .but enough about me). Sometimes it can be hard to find the right pieces that fit together, but they always will. There is never an extra piece. The interesting thing about puzzles is that it is only the pieces of that puzzle that fit together. If you were to take a Lego piece and try to fit it together with a piece of the puzzle, SURPRISE--they wouldn't fit together. This is how the makers of the puzzle meant it to be.

The people on this earth often try to take matters into their own hands. God makes everything a certain way--so that it all fits just right--and humans often don't take that into consideration. Let's take the process of marriage as an example.

Marriage is defined by God as being between a man and a woman. Each gender has very specific roles that God gave them. This is the puzzle that God created, with each piece fitting precisely and perfectly with the next. I mean, let's face it: men and women complete each other. As hard as we try to deny it--oh we don't need them. . .we're independent. . .I can do it by myself--the qualities and traits of each gender precisely and perfectly match up with those of the opposite gender. 

Then you have this world. "I am my own person!" one might say. "I don't need God's plan! Mine is better!" (Which it's not, by the way.) We have these people who decide that they have feelings for a Lego piece, and even though they will never fit together as completely as they were meant to with their respective pieces, "It feels good." It feels good? Is this what our world has come to? It feels good. It looks good. It tastes good. It sounds good. It's all about the physical senses, now, and it's disturbing. What happened to listening to the Spirit? What happened to following the perfect plan that God created for us? 

I understand that nobody is perfect. I understand the there are those in this world who have trials--trials that you or I could never even imagine--and God will help them. But that depends on how devoted these people are to having and maintaining a relationship with Heavenly Father. I understand that these trials exist, but don't ever forget that there is still that other piece, waiting. Waiting for you. There is someone out there that completes you precisely and perfectly. You just need to go looking for them.
