YOU'RE NOT A PIECE IN THAT PUZZLE!

     I am writing this to encourage those of you that may feel like you do not "fit in", or are not accepted by people. (Lately, I have been hearing this from people directly and indirectly),whether it's at work, with family, or in the church. Many of you may feel rejected, left out, ignored and disliked, even misunderstood...although you strive to love and help others, minister to the need of others, intercede for  them, and are in place as a confidant, and even a friend! But your efforts and desires to be accepted, just don't seem to work out, no matter how hard you try!



     I'm talking to those of you that sit back and see others group together, work together, and socialize together, and from the outside, it all looks so wonderful! Which causes you to want to become a part of what you see. So you make an effort to "fit in"...But, when it does not work out, you begin to doubt who you are, you begin to loose focus on your gifts and talents...and even your Call! The enemy starts to make you ask questions like, "What's wrong with me?", "Am I good enough?" or "Why don't people like me!?" Does this sound familiar? It is very familiar to me! Because I have felt the same way...and honestly, sometimes the enemy still brings this feeling my way!

     This is what the Lord said to deliver me, and give me the strength to overthrow those thoughts and feelings:

 

YOU'RE NOT A PIECE IN THAT PUZZLE!

 

     That puzzle being what the enemy is using to distract, discourage, and destroy you! All because he knows, without a doubt, who you are in GOD! The Lord showed me this...

A puzzle is something that confuses or test ingenuity. And, ingenuity is the quality of being cleverly inventive or resourceful. It also  means skill in planning. It means nobility, and being noble means, "illustrious (brilliantly outstanding), aristocratic (upper class), and stately (having impressive dignity). It means of outstanding character."

 

     The reason you don't "fit in" is because where you are trying to fit, is a puzzle created by the enemy, to STOP you from being and walking in the GOD GIVEN ABILITY, which is the ANOINTING to be INVENTIVE AND RESOURCEFUL!  The puzzle is designed to STOP you from being SKILLED to work your Ministries,  Business, or even Lead, all because of poor planning...YOU CAN'T HEAR FROM GOD, BECAUSE OF WHERE YOUR FOCUS IS, fitting in! The enemy wants to keep you from being ILLUSTRIOUS (especially in your own eyes), And he makes you feel like you are BENEATH INSTEAD OF ABOVE ONLY...And... he wants you to LOSE THE IMPRESSIVE DIGNITY YOU HAVE BECAUSE YOU BELONG TO THE KING OF KINGS!

 

     But today, your mind is going to be renewed...if you let it! Because God said,

 

YOU'RE NOT A PIECE IN THAT PUZZLE!

 

     This is who you are: 1 PETER 2:9, "BUT YE ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, AN HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE; THAT YE SHOULD SHOW FORTH THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO HATH CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELLOUS LIGHT..."

You are DIFFERENT, child of God! That means you are Distinct! Unusual! Not alike in quality or character of another!

 

You are PECULIAR! Which means, STRANGE AND UNCOMMON TO THE WORLD! And especially remember this part of the definition...YOU BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO A "PERSON", OR GROUP! Meaning you belong to "THE PERSON, GOD ALMIGHTY!" AND YOU ARE IN A GROUP THAT HAS BEEN BLOOD WASHED!

 

So when you don't fit in, don't be discouraged and stop trying! It is for a reason...



 
YOU'RE NOT A PIECE IN THAT PUZZLE!

But you ARE a piece of GOD'S HEART, and in HIS PERFECT PLAN! Find YOUR place, and stay there.
