Write In His Light

Unfit Puzzle Pieces!

There are some people who can do a puzzle in a couple of hours, no problem.  I guess it comes with practice and patience.... I don't know which are you, but I am not one of those that I mentioned.  I end up getting frustrated and impatient.  It seems as though they made a puzzle with all the same pieces so that no matter which one I pick they don't fit together.  Sometimes, I hear the ole'...might as well give up...then my stubborness comes in and takes over...Or I walk away from it for awhile and then come back and it becomes much easier.

Our faith in God is a lot like that.  Sometimes, it requires practice and patience, that we don't think we have!  Sometimes we get frustrated and impatient and try to do things on our own.  Sometimes, it feels like the world is against us and no matter what we do, nothing seems to be good enough.  Sometimes it feels like we just should give up!  Stubborness can be good...directed in God's love and discernment.  Sometimes we need to let it go and give it to God for awhile and he will show us the way.  Casting all our burdens on Him.  

Matthew 11:28-30 says  28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

Doing so our burdens really do become easier.  When we just feel like giving up we can hop in our Father's Lap and feel His soft feathered wings around us.

Psalms 36: 7-9  helps me remember that we can go to Him and He will hold us and be satisfied and lifted up!

Oh, Lord You alone are so gracious and loving!  Please help hold me up today!  They are taking our house today.  How can they get away with that?  How can they lie about EVERYTHING and then just take it away?  Not one thing that they said they were going to do, did they do.  Then, when we say we can't do it because those certain things weren't done they immediately take action to take it away instead of helping us.  I trust in You Oh, Lord!  I just can't stand for them to keep getting away with this and hurt others.  Circumstances around us DO NOT LOOK GOOD!  Our credit is destroyed and we are losing everything around us!  We won't have anywhere to go.....I am trying desparately to look up to you Oh, Lord and not give up!  I know that you will provide a place for my family.  I know that You will handle the things I can't.  Please help me today, Oh Lord!  I need your lap and I need You to carry me right now!
