When you reach the age where you can look back at your life in retrospect and see how it all fit together, you realize life is like a big jigsaw puzzle. When you first dump out the pieces, the task of fitting them together to make a clear picture seems near impossible. So you start with something simple, like maybe the edges, and build your way into the heart of the image. Eventually, with hard work and determination, you insert that last piece, and step back to proudly admire your work.
My hope for you is that one day you can step back and look at your life, and be proud and thankful for the complete picture. There’s still time to fit the pieces together. Another set of eyes can help you spot connections you may have missed. Studying God’s word is a good way to get an idea of what that final product should look like.
After all, He’s the one who designed it.
