Even when we don’t understand what it is that’s going on around us, all the puzzle pieces are going into the proper places. It’s when we try to rearrange them ourselves that things start to actually get messed up. It’s like trying to paint a picture of the country side while you are blindfolded with a giant paintbrush. At best, you’ll create a horrible replica of the real beauty that is before you and you'll miss all the small details that make it such a wonder to behold.
The same will happen if you try to finish the puzzle yourself. It will be a horrible representation of what God really wanted to look like, you'll miss out on all the little things God had planned for you AND He will have to spend time fixing all the mistakes. Sometimes we are allowed to fall into darkness so that the light becomes that much brighter and means that much more.
Tests and trials are a catalyst for your mind, heart and soul, but it's up to you to let it catalyze your hunger for Christ's grace, mercy and selflessness - not your own selfishness and self pity.
Do yourself a favor and trust your Creator.
