Mosaic
On this journey
we all encounter
a universal lost and found
where we search for
missing pieces of ourselves -
pieces we’ve given
to people we love,
pieces taken
by those who are loveless.
Sometimes,
the spaces left
are filled by pieces
given to us by others -
our lives becoming mosaics
of who we touch,
and of who touches us.
A close up view
may distort
what distance
can gracefully portray,
and what a glimpse
through a window does not show -
the entirety of a landscape.
We need to change our perspective,
walk through the door,
to make the journey
to the top of the mountain...
where we can turn around
and gaze at the big picture
of where we have been,
how pathways connected,
how challenges were overcome,
how spaces were created and filled -
then we can see
the full masterpiece,
the vision of our creator
and appreciate
that we are never really alone.
“For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.”
1 Corinthians 13:12 NIV

Its great for you to speak so favorably of our Creator. But it is also good to admit that He does let us down. He has let me down, that's for sure.
Even Christ was honest enuff to declare that God lets us down. For on the cross Christ asked, "my God, why have you forsaken me?"

“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.”
Romans 5:3-5 NLT
Romans 5:3-5 NLT
Jesus Christ was the sacrificial lamb, atoning for all of the sin of humankind. His crucifixtion was the punishment we were supposed to have experienced. His emotional anguish over the feeling of separation from God the Father, is the anguish he saved us from - the same anguish that any person will suffer who chooses not to accept the gift of Jesus's sacrifice for their own benefit. God forsake his own sin in that moment because he loves you!
