puzzle pieces

The other day, Holy Ghost laid a phrase on me. The Spirit told me,“ I hand out puzzle pieces,” that it was one of my gifts As you might guess, the Spirit at that point had my undivided attention. The Spirit said, “ all have a picture of who they are in Christ. A perfected image of themselves, one humbled before the Lord, the ‘Masters Pieces, of Love.’ Father God put that image in us, Jesus died and rose again for that image, and Holy Spirit nurtures that image inside of us. It is that image, that we become through obedience and sacrifice to God and all His Ways.

We all add to one another puzzles. When we share the things, God has done for us.
As we all share our gifts and talents, to edify one another. To be able to build up others, and allow help from others to build us up, is how the Body grows into One.
Just as when we buy a puzzle in a box, we are given a picture but, the pieces need to be fitted together. When you start that puzzle, the edges are eagerly sought out. We need to know the boundary; the framework, in which we are to work and operate. Inside the boundary, our perception is critical. Maybe your hue is off, blue is now green, yellow lost in red. Or it’s someones contrast that needs work. When we can no longer see, the relative difference between light and dark, we will take offensive when none was offered.

The thing is, as we grow into the Body, no-one stands alone. At some point we all fit together, and form the Body of Christ. To what degree you fight that, will not just effect you but the rest of the Body. Let’s look at it this way. A puzzle that has ten pieces, is handed out to ten people. On it was a treasure map. Seven of those people did not like three. All nine could not stand one. The seven agreed to be OK w/ the two, and so all nine figured what difference could one piece make. The nine were not going to share w/ that one. They kick that one out. Yes, you guessed it, all the important information was on that one piece. The point is never be to quick, or to sure that someone lacks the ability to help you. They may have that piece of the puzzle.
