Day 1: Romans 12:2

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2)

I am a huge fan of jigsaw puzzles, big, small, round, reversible, 3D and even the ones deemed “impossible.”  I learned early on that to lessen the frustrations while working puzzles to start with the border and then work on small sections at a time.

In my Christian walk I see parallels to working puzzles. If I let Jesus be my “border,” He helps hold my life together. As I let Him help me work on small parts of my life (prayer, study,  service), the total picture of me becomes more and more like the one Who created me, just like the total picture emerges when I work puzzles.

As this season of Lent begins,  will you consider letting Jesus be the focus of the puzzle that is your life?

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for always being there for me, to love, comfort and conform me into what You want me to be. Amen.
