The Missing Piece

One day a little girl set out in search of the missing piece...


She was missing a piece to her story; the piece to her heart. So many blanks appeared in her story that she wanted to fill up. She only wanted to reach the conclusion and write those two words: "the end". And while she searched for her missing piece, she found herself at the beginning again. She thought she had known what friendship with God was. And when she thought she had found Him, she still found herself asking Him why all this emptiness.

She asked Him what was His purpose for her... what was His plan for her... question after question after question. And every time she thought she had found the missing piece, it never fit, neither in the blanks of her story, nor within the hole in her heart. However, it wasn't about looking for the missing piece, but it was about knowing who she was and ultimately, knowing who He is.

He is the author of this story. He writes every word in her life with a genuine love and a heart of sincerity. He gives her tests to refine her, and He gives her joy that she may be able to smile and laugh with those around her. He is the One who is near to her heart, as He is to yours. And He blesses her, so that those around her are blessed too.

To share His love with others, she had to find herself. She had to forgive herself, she had to be able to love herself, she had to be okay with being alone, and she had to start getting to know herself, and appreciate who she was. She is her own missing piece, and no one else's nor is anything or anyone her missing piece. Only when she knows that she is no longer a missing piece, then she will realise that she is her own and He fills the hole in her heart. Still she must continue on the journey to write this story as she lives, learns, and grows, and she hopes this for others as well.

Life without Jesus is like a donut because there's whole in the middle of our hearts. And one day that missing piece will no longer be a missing piece because it will become round just like a donut, except it will be whole.
