A father wanted to read a magazine, but was being pestered by his daughter. To keep her busy, he tore a sheet out of the magazine that had a picture of the world printed on it. He tore the picture into small pieces and said "Here, now go into the other room and see if you can put this picture of the world back together again."
A few minutes goes by and he daughter appears in the room and hands him the picture all correctly fitted together.
The father was surprised and ask her how she was able to fit all those little pieces of the world back together again so quickly.
"Oh.." she said, "On the other side of the paper was a picture of Jesus and once I got Jesus in the right place, then the world came out alright."

I read this little article this morning and so much come to my mind in Sunday School this last week we were talking about putting the pieces of the puzzle together in our own lives. You know God knows where each and ever piece of the puzzle of our life is at we just have to put it together one piece at a time. Sometimes we may get discouraged, down and out, and just frustrated with life, but I have realized it is in those hard unbearable times that we just have to hold on, stand fast, and believe and keep the faith. If we give up in the midst of the trial then we have gone through it all for vain. I have been down this road many times in my life over the last ten years and today I want to be stronger, more reliable, and have more faith, and more trust than ever, but I realize that the battle is going to get harder and harder as the days go by, but my joy will come in the morning. Psalm 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning..
Also there is another verse that keeps going through my head this week as a friend shared with me is Matthew 25:21 His Lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter into the joy of thy Lord.
Whoever is reading this may just be needing to be told by someone else don't give up stand strong keep doing what you are doing, keep praying the prayers that you are praying even though it may seem at times they are going no where God does hear them....He sees the fight, the sacrifice, the struggle you are in and He cares for you...He also sees your faithfulness just remember what it says in His word...I will never leave you nor forsake you...As lonely as it may seem sometimes I have to continually tell myself I am not alone He is with me all the way....
Just as the last line of this little story states....once I got Jesus in the right place, then the world came out alright."......it is so true once we have Jesus in the right place in our life everything else will come out alright.....
