Consider for example a jigsaw puzzle as life, unfortunately many of us don't get the privilege to see the completed image and to work towards it. What we get though are pieces and we figure it out along the way, piece by piece.
It doesn't have to be like that. By God's perfect design every piece fits as it should in perfect timing, nothing missing, nothing lacking. Our Master of times and seasons wants to complete and finish Hos masterpiece puzzle...Will you allow Him free reign, rule and room?
