Reflections upon fragile faith strengthened by our loving father God

Book Cover & Preview Text
Jigsaw
With many, uniquely shaped pieces of life
Scattered around our being,
Yet no box-shaped image to help
To ease our task
Sometimes we flounder,
Frustrated,
Impatient,
Wanting to know how our past can be healed, how our future will unfold.
With annoyance we brush bits aside
Allowing them to fall
Down,
Away,
Misplaced in dark shadows
Or hidden by more alluring temptation.
We turn away from His word, which instructs,
Walk from our task
To easier things.
……….
Yet He calls us back
And with love, helps us to find those missing parts.
The dark places are illuminated.
The falseness of temptation
Revealed in all its weakness.
And gradually,
Painstakingly,
Scrap by scrap,
Our Lord helps us to piece our lives together
Revealing an image
So full of love
And power
And beauty
That only He knows what we can expect.
He holds out to us that final, cross-shaped part,
That important link
With His loving heart.
That one day
We too
Will be complete.
