The Missing Piece

What’s missing in your life? We all have our perceptions of “If I had this then I would be happy.” But why do we still feel incomplete even after obtaining these desires? There’s only one missing piece in our lives that will complete us and that is God.

If I were to ask you what’s missing in your life, I’m almost positive that you will have at least one thing in mind. Maybe it’s the perfect partner or that perfect job that pays well, or if you can achieve a certain status.

For me, that list goes on and on. But every time I check mark one thing on my list, another thing would be added to the list. It’s like an endless cycle of always feeling like I’m missing something.

For the longest time, I thought these things could complete me. But God showed me that only He can complete me. I kept feeling like I was missing something because I was filling my missing piece with the wrong thing.

God is the missing piece to complete us.

Our problem isn’t acknowledging that we are incomplete, but knowing what completes us.

Lamentations 3:24 says, “The Lord is my portion, therefore I wait for Him.” God is our portion He is our missing piece that completes our soul.

A portion is a part of a whole. God is the part that makes us whole. Not a successful career, spouse, or money. Nothing but God makes us whole.

For years I tried to fill my emptiness with everything but God. I was stubborn thinking I didn’t need Him. And thinking I knew I could do everything on my own, I didn’t need anyone. Too many people let me down so, why would it be any different with God.

Now I can rest knowing that when I put my hope in God, He will never let me down. He is good and will never leave my empty but filled.

Lamentations 3:25 says, “The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him.”

Don’t let satan lie and tell you that anything else but God can fill you. Chasing anything other than God will leave you weary and wanting more.

God is better than any other desire you have in your heart. That doesn’t mean that God will not fulfill the desires of your heart, but He wants you to learn to delight in Him first.

Proverbs 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. God is what we need, and everything else is our desires. Once we have this truth down, God will allow all our other desires to fall into place.

Matthew 6:34 says, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
