Moving Forward

Musings Puzzling

I saw this on Facebook and thought it appropriate to share:

“Me: Hello God.


God: Hello…


Me: I’m falling apart. Can you put me back together?


God: I’d rather not.


Me: Why?


God: Because you’re not a puzzle.


Me: What about all the pieces of my life that fall to the ground?


God: Leave them there for a while. They fell for a reason. Let them be there for a while and then decide if you need to get any of those pieces back.


Me: You don’t understand! I’m breaking up!


God: No, you don’t understand. You’re transcending, evolving. What you feel are growing pains. You’re getting rid of the things and people in your life that are holding you back. The pieces are not falling down. The pieces are putting in place. Relax. Take a deep breath and let those things you no longer need fall down. Stop clinging to pieces that are no longer for you. Let them fall. Let them go.


Me: Once I start doing that, what will I have left?


God: Only the best pieces of yours.


Me: I’m afraid to change.


God: I keep telling you: YOU’RE NOT CHANGING! YOU’RE BECOMING!


Me: Becoming, Who?


God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light, love, charity, hope, courage, joy, mercy, grace and compassion. I made you for so much more than those shallow pieces you decided to adorn yourself with and that you cling to with so much greed and fear. Let those things fall off you. I love you! Don’t change! Become! Don’t change! Become! Become who I want you to be, who I created. I’m gonna keep telling you this until you remember.


Me: There goes another piece.


God: Yes. Let it be like this.


Me: So… I’m not broken?


God: No, but you’re breaking the darkness, like dawn. It’s a new day. Become!! Become who you really are!!”

    Glad you shared it. Is is something I could totally relate . It is I believe what we all struggle with whether we acknowledge it or not.
