Puzzled Puzzle Piece

The problem is, I find, that people try to fit God into their lives. But, people, God does not fit anywhere in our lives. God is not a puzzle piece, to fit in the puzzle of your life; God is the puzzle, and he wants you in him. We've lost the part where God is in control - where God is sovereign. We have focused far too much attention on our response to God, his salvation, and his calling upon our lives. We have focused on our response to God as if our response is the miraculous work or ingredient in our salvation. We have lost the part where God actually does the saving work in a person's life. Our response is just that, a response; it carries no power of its own to save. Therefore, I am the puzzle piece while God is the puzzle. Let us stop treating God like he is a puzzle piece in our lives.
