My imagined conversation with God:
Me: Hey God.
God: Hello…
Me: I’m falling apart. Can You put me back together?
God: I would rather not.
Me: Why?
God: Because you aren’t a puzzle.
Me: What about all of the pieces of my life that are falling down onto the ground?
God: Let them stay there for a while. They fell off for a reason. Take some time and decide if you need any of those pieces back.
Me: You don’t understand! I’m breaking down!
God: No- you don’t understand. You are breaking through. You are shedding things in your life that are holding you back. You aren’t falling apart. You are falling into place. Allow those things that aren’t in My will to fall off. Quit holding onto the pieces that don’t fit you. Let them fall off.
Me: Once I start doing that, what will be left of me?
God: Only the very best pieces of you.
Me: I’m scared of changing.
God: You aren’t changing. You are becoming!
Me: Becoming who?
God: Becoming who I created you to be. A person of light and love and charity and hope and courage and joy and mercy and grace and compassion. I made you for more than the shallow pieces you have adorned yourself with. Let those things fall off. I love you. Don’t change… become who I made you to be.
Me: There goes another piece.
God: Yep. Let it be.
Me: So… I’m not broken?
God Of course not, you are breaking like the dawn. It’s a new day.
