THIS PICTURE HAS THOUSANDS OF LITTLE PIECES

The picture of your life is made up of thousands of little pieces! Some are dark and some are light. Some appear to be joyful while others could look sad. But like with a puzzle, the piece you now hold is never the whole picture and could be something very different than you think. Only the ONE who has the FULL picture can accurately know what your life will look like, and He calls it beautiful.

Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. [Proverbs 19:21] “I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” [Jeremiah 29:11] Be confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. [Philippians 1:6]

Stop trying to work everything out yourself and start trusting God with your future. Too often our mind and our addiction to information cause us to second guess God. Following Jesus means He knows the way and you're trusting Him without knowledge to get you where you need to be. Is it a risk? No, it is called faith. THE TRUTH IS... Jesus did it all and became the final sacrifice. Whatever happens in your life, good or bad, you must keep your eyes on Him. He is our FULL PICTURE. He is perfect theology. He knows the way. He has God’s best outcome. Stay in rest. Stay in Him.

God has the FULL picture and prophetically He hands us the pieces one by one as we trust Him and follow Him.

Faulty revelation and ungodly conclusions come from looking at the piece you currently hold and saying that’s the way it will be forever. Earn deserve mentality comes when we believe we must create our own picture hoping God will approve of our efforts and bend to our pleas. These methods will only lead a person away from the plan God has. At the very least is will cause one to get stuck and not reach for the next piece of God's wonderful puzzle.

Ever wonder why so many Christians end up blindly wandering and fumbling in the dark, accepting every curse and attack the devil sends their way, and why they live handicapped and poor when God has so much PROMISE for them? They believe the piece they have and not the picture God promised. One piece will never be enough to know what the end will look like.

You want to hear a secret?… When we choose to follow Jesus and go on a journey with Him, He knows everything we are going to face. He knows every storm, every giant and every devil standing in your way. He is passionate about a good finish, and He is determined to end things well. I'm not trying to make it sound easy. It takes faith and trust in God, who has the whole story, to have complete peace on this journey.

Understand... Even the prophetic works this way…  Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! [1 Corinthians 13:9]

“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” [Luke 12:32] The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. [Deuteronomy 31:8] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. [Psalm 23:6]

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and he will make your paths straight. [Proverbs 3:5]

Never allow the piece of the puzzle you currently hold to paralyze you or blind you into thinking this is THE FULL PICTURE God has for you. Trust Him and He will bring you into His grand masterpiece.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. [Romans 8:28]

Stay blessed!
