Dear Young Christian: Do you ever feel like your life is like a jigsaw puzzle? And do you ever feel like there is a piece or two missing — that you just can’t seem to get it together? Yes, I suppose we all have felt that way from time to time. Why? Well, perhaps there are a number of reasons, but, above all, it is because we are leaving Christ out of our daily routine in some aspect or another. Maybe we are not spending time in prayer, or reading our Bibles like we should. Maybe we are not walking in obedience to the will of the Lord, or living like a Christian should live. Whatever it may be, it is well to get before the Lord and confess it. God has a plan and pattern for your life, but just as a jigsaw puzzle needs all the pieces to be complete, so your life will be incomplete without Christ. We enjoy the beauty of a puzzle when all the pieces are in place. But when there are pieces missing or pieces forced in the wrong place, the whole picture is spoiled. Remember this short phrase this week: “Christ is all (everything)” (Colossians 3:11). Your Christian Friend, Jim Hyland We would love to hear from you.
