Psalm 139:14

"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made...." Psalm 139:14

We are lovingly knit together in our mother's womb. All that love and compassion that goes into the process, we feel that love. It comforts our budding soul in the womb. We innately know that we are safe. Our first nine months of life are spent in the full love and security of the Father. Then, we are shoved into the world with much wailing and gnashing of gums. We are separated from our safe haven. Separated from God. Emptiness is a steady and ready spot in our hearts. As we grow up, disquiet looms large in our soul. The acknowledgement of a NEED is realize quicker by some than by others. The NEED is Jesus Christ.

The NEED could be compared to a puzzle piece. We are the puzzle with a missing piece. Jesus is the missing puzzle piece. We cannot be complete without him. He makes us whole, complete, and the masterpiece that he intended us to be! In all our vanity and outward beauty and intelligence, we think we can do it on our own. In all our spirituality, we think we can attain it with enough works. It is akin to running into battle weaponless and armorless. We will be taken out without Jesus. He is our armor and sword. "Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God..." Ephesians 6:13 "....and the sword of the Spirit..." Ephesians 6:17 Jesus is a requirement to successfully make it through this battle of life.

We are aptly called fools in the Bible. We were never given all the physical or spiritual pieces to make our life abundantly alive. Faith(in Jesus Christ) is the ticket. He is the puzzle piece that got knocked under the table, pushed under the carpet, or kicked under the couch. It is a searching and seeking process. Given the time and willpower, God's light will illuminate our path to find that piece to plug it into our soul. He will take us then(His missing piece) and plug it into Himself. Instead of walking around in the darkness of our souls, He will hand us a lamp. The lamp will shine full upon the face of Jesus. Home will be found. Completion upon the Master's table will be accomplished.
