                     A Living Jigsaw Puzzle

You are part of a living jigsaw puzzle, and I am carefully setting you
in place. I have carefully shaped you and colored you for precisely the
location where I have placed you. You have been set in this place for a 
specific purpose, and I have put My anointing on you to accomplish My 
purposes, that you might bring great glory to My name.

But the enemy of your soul is trying to convince you that this is not 
the case. He is using strategies of disqualification against you, 
telling you that you don't really fit in your spot. He may tell you that 
you are not accomplishing enough and don't deserve to be in this spot. 
Or he may tell you that you are not anointed enough for it. Or he may 
point out areas of weakness in your character, suggesting that you are 
not mature enough. Or he may point to a past failure and tell you that 
because of this, you do not deserve to be in the position where I have
placed you. Whatever reason he gives you, his strategy is to try to
convince you that you don't belong where I have called you, that you
are not worthy enough, that you have some gaping deficiency that will
prevent Me from using you there.

The problem with a living jigsaw puzzle is that the pieces do not 
necessarily stay where they have been so carefully placed. They are 
alive and they have wills of their own, so they sometimes move to a 
different location or walk out of the puzzle all together. And that is 
what the enemy of your soul is trying to get you to do, by making you 
feel that you are not qualified to remain in the spot where I have 
placed you. He wants to convince you to get up and walk out of the 
puzzle. 

His hope is that I will not be able to finish putting the puzzle 
together because pieces are constantly moving from where I placed them.

He knows that when I do finish the puzzle, My kingdom will advance
with incredible power and anointing. He dreads this because The advance
of My kingdom means that his will be torn down, and his works will be 
destroyed. It spells defeat for him, because he will loose so much 
ground that he will not be able to keep people in deception, and a great 
revival will break out. The lost will run to Me in amazing number to 
receive life and blessings from My hand, and My name will be greatly 
glorified on this earth.

I have given you, dear one, an important place in My plans and 
purposes, and I have strategically set you there. You are like a sentry
who has been assigned to a post, and the role I have given you to play 
is much more important than you realize. Do not allow the enemy of your 
soul to talk you into abandoning your post. 

Again I say to you, you are a vital part of a living jigsaw puzzle.
Your position is strategic and I have carefully crafted you for it. If 
you leave your spot, then there is a gaping hole that not other piece 
can fit as well as you. So do not listen to the lies that your enemy, 
the devil, speaks to you. And do not believe it when He tells you that
I have placed you in the wrong spot, or that I have disqualified you.

Dear one, you are called and chosen for such as time as this; I have 
placed My anointing upon you and My Spirit within you. You are not
alone or abandoned or forgotten in your calling. I am with you to 
empower you in all that I have called you to do. Do not fear, little
one, for I have put you in precisely the right spot, that you might
be correctly fitted together with others to accomplish My purposes,
and to bring great glory to My name.
