When God Could’ve but He Didn’tSample

New Hope

My husband and I were working on a 1,000-piece puzzle. Throughout, I couldn’t help but notice oddly-shaped puzzle pieces. When we finished the puzzle, I still didn’t know why there were odd pieces, but it didn’t really matter because one thing’s for sure: they’re part of the whole picture.

Going through so much pain is like an oddly shaped puzzle piece—you don’t clearly see why it isn’t as beautifully cut as other moments in your life, or it doesn’t seem to fit the life you hoped to live. Just keep the faith. Before you know it, everything’s going to fall into place. A piece, no matter how odd, is part of a beautiful masterpiece.
