JIM CAIN

GOOD MORNING!

My wife’s family had a hobby of putting together jigsaw puzzles.  Her father often brought home puzzles of greater and greater difficulty.  One night he presented his family with a puzzle of over one thousand pieces.  Immediately they began working on it.  After an hour, however, the family was frustrated. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t figure the puzzle out.

Suzanne’s father then discovered that the clerk at the hobby shop had accidentally switched the box top with the top from another puzzle.  The picture they were looking at wasn’t the puzzle they were working on.

Often, we feel frustrated with ourselves because we don’t believe we live up to what others want from us or even what we think God wants from us.  God created us to be different.  We all have our own “box-top picture,” and the only way we can ever be successful in life is to be ourselves, allowing God to use us just the way we are.
