"There is one great difference between people chosen to be the Lord's messengers and earthly messengers. While those on errands of this world almost always know that they are sent and where and why, people chosen to be messengers of the Most High rarely even know that they are His messengers.

"Unsuspecting and unaware. Consumed by their own plans and itineraries. The Lord is already sending them somewhere else. I do not know how many times in one's life one is also a messenger. But for everyone it is at least once. Remember only that you are not always going where you are going for the reasons you think you are....

"Each lifetime is the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. For some there are more pieces. For others the puzzle is more difficult to assemble. Some seem to be born with a nearly completed puzzle. And so it goes. Souls going this way and that. Trying to assemble the myriad parts.

But know this. No one has within themselves all the pieces to their puzzle. Like before the days when they used to seal jigsaw puzzles in cellophane insuring that all the pieces were there. Everyone carries with them at least one and probably many pieces to someone else's puzzle. Sometimes they know it. Sometimes they don't. And when you present your piece which is worthless to you, to another, whether you know it or not, whether they know it or not, you are a messenger from the Most High."
