★妈妈:不要急,看完整个图片再拼。 孩子:不,我自己会拼。 神说:遵行天父的旨意,因神就是道路。 人说:我没时间看圣经。我知道该如何走自己的路。
★妈妈:先把边框出来。 孩子:我要先找我手中这一块拼图的位置。 神说:先求神的国、神的义。 人说:让我先忙完世上的事再说。
★妈妈:这一片似乎没放对位置。 孩子:我说对就是对。 神说:你们转回归向我…… 人说:我们心中自有偶像。
★妈妈:对了别再移,这片就是放这里。 孩子:我不相信。我要试试别的位置。 神说:在我里头有平安。 人说:眼看,看不饱,……叫我如何能满足、平安。
★孩子:这一片到底该放哪里? 妈妈:先分色系,再判断该放的位置。 人说:我该怎么面对生活问题? 神说:舍己,背起十字架,跟从我。
★孩子:我照试了,但是还是找不到。 妈妈:别灰心,再用点心。 人说:我愿意,但立志由得我,行出来由不得我。 神说:我必赐下圣灵,帮助那渴慕追求永生的。
★孩子:我真能把整个拼图拼好吗? 妈妈:只要你用对方法。 人说:我该如何以拜神寻得生命? 神说:用心灵和诚实拜神,就可得着永恒的生命。
★Mom: Dont be in a hurry. Do jigsaw after you study the whole picture. Kid: No. I can do it without studying it first. God: Obey Gods will because He is the road of life. Man: I have no time to study the Bible. I know how to arrange my life on earth.
★Mom: Find out the pieces of the edge first. Kid: No. Ill try to find out the location of the piece in my hand first. God: Seek first my kingdom and my righteousness. Man: Let me do what I think is important on earth first.
★Mom: It seems the wrong location for this piece. Kid: I mean Im right. God: Return to me. Man: We have our own idols.
★Mon: Its gotten to the correct place. Move it no more; keep it there. Kid: Im still not sure. Let me try putting it at another location. God: Peace is here in me. Man: Nothing can satisfy my life with my eyes. How can I get peace and satisfaction with what has been seen?
★Kid: What location is for this piece? Mom: Classify colors, and then justify the location. Man: How do I face the problems I met? God: Deny yourself and take up my cross and follow me.
★Kid: Ive tried to do so, but Ive still not been able to find it out. Mom: Dont be so frustrated. Try harder. Man: I will, then I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. God: Ill give the Holy Spirit to the person who seeks for the eternal life.
★Kid: Will it be true that I can finish the whole jigsaw? Mom: As long as you do it by following the right direction, you will be successful. Man: How could I get the true life through worshiping God? God: Worship me in spirit and truth, and you will get the eternal life from me.
