Puzzling (Part 5)

Hard. Easy. Boring. Someone else's pieces always look better. But that is just a farce. God tells us that no good thing does He withhold from us who are right with Him (Psalm 84:11). When we are tempted to envy someone else's life pieces we can choose instead to reiterate to ourselves (and express to God) the Truth.
Our God is good.
He is trustworthy to give us good.
He promises His children that all things will work out for good. (However, there is no promise that we will instantly see or understand this good.)
Our Savior loves us.
He gave you your pieces and me my pieces out of love.
He promises that, regardless of the pieces or how badly I have messed up His pieces, He will never leave us or forsake us.
Puzzles have easy parts and hard parts and boring parts, but all those sections come together to form the artist's plan. Life has easy parts and hard parts and boring parts, but for those who follow Christ all those sections come together to complete His plan.
