A Puzzle(ing) Thought

I got this new puzzle from the Dollar Store right before school started, and have been working on it slowly ever since. Today I finally finished it and am very proud of myself, not necessarily because it was a 500 piece puzzle, but what the final product looks like. 

 

This is a picture of Jesus being invited to the house of Simon the Pharisee. Everyone's there, Jesus, Simon, the sinful woman who rushed in and laid at Jesus' feet and cleaned them with her tears and perfume, and Simon's servants.

 

 

 I found this puzzle and really wanted it, so I bought it and started on it that day. I finished it today and at first was basically just happy I finished it, but the more I think about it, the more it relates to me and the more puzzle(ing) it gets. ;)

You see, if you think about it, the puzzle can represent several different things depending on how you look at it. You could think of it like how Jesus is the puzzle builder and you are the end product of the puzzle, and that it shows that when you are completed, you will be fully with Christ. Or if you keep viewing yourself as the puzzle, it could show that the Holy Spirit (aka Jesus) is inside of you. Or maybe you can just use it as a direct reference to God, and that the picture reminds you of the story and that the puzzle symbolizes that He is the only one who can truly help you piece yourself back together.

 

This puzzles me because it reminds me of how great God is. He is always there for us and uses other people to get His Word out there. He used James E. Seward who painted this picture, then He used the company SunsOut to turn copies into puzzles. After that He used the Dollar Store by having them get the puzzle, and now I'm talking about it on my blog. He wanted me to post this, though I don't know for what reason. That's what puzzles me, and it ain't a bad puzzlement either. Makes ya think a little, doesn't it? ;)

Ill end it with that to think about. Think about how He might be using you in your life. I wont have an "Answering Post" like last time, this is just something to think about. Until next time I post, keep on keeping-on!!!
