The Great Puzzler

   Last night I was working on a puzzle with my sister and grandparents. It was a 4D map of Londen. We were working on a map of Londen many years ago and it was extremely hard because there were about 3 colors on the map and paragraphs of tiny cursive writing! When we finish this side we do a current on the looks even more impossible then attach them with double sided tape and add 3D buildings! This is an extremely hard puzzle but despite the difficulty I was having I know that there is someone else whose puzzle is much, much harder...now for the parable(not a awesome JC parable, just one of mine) of the Great Puzzler:
   Once upon a time there was a man who created a huge puzzle called "The World." He worked carefully to decide what layers the millions of different pieces went on, where they fit in, and what the were supposed to be a part of. For a man as great as this the puzzle could  have been done quite easily was it not for the pieces themselves. They were so anxious to find their place that they would run around instead of staying where they were supposed to be. They also wanted to fit in with the other pieces and worked very hard to become the same color and shape as the pieces around them so that the great puzzler had to paint and chisel instead of just putting the pieces together. One day the great puzzle will be finished but the more the great puzzler has to re-color and re-shape and re-place, the longer that day will be in coming. 
   This parable represents God's struggle with the people of the world. God is the Great Puzzler and we are the many pieces, always trying to conform ourselves to worldly people as to fit in. Because we change, we get ourselves into situation that may hurt but will lead us back to our original design so that we truly fit in to our place. We also hinder the completion of the puzzle by running around, obsessed with finding our place, instead of letting God, the one who sees the full picture, put us there and resting in his hand until then!
