My heart is a puzzle

My heart is a puzzle with unending pieces,
all different sizes I don't know in the least.

As I try to assemble this heart that's a shambles
it's all put together so infinitely. 

I need an adhesive to hold me together
or else I will fall into pieces again;

but what if I let go? What if I just say no?
Does falling apart mean I've come to the end?

Is there another to put me together,
to bind up my heart with his own, carefully?

If there is, then I'm waiting for what he's creating
assured that it's beautiful, special, and free.

  1. Thus says the LORD:
    “Cursed is the man who trusts in man
    and makes flesh his strength,
    whose heart turns away from the LORD.
    He is like a shrub in the desert,
    and shall not see any good come.
    He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
    in an uninhabited salt land.
    “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
    whose trust is the LORD.
    He is like a tree planted by water,
    that sends out its roots by the stream,
    and does not fear when heat comes,
    for its leaves remain green,
    and is not anxious in the year of drought,
    for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
    The heart is deceitful above all things,
    and desperately sick;
    who can understand it?
    “I the LORD search the heart
    and test the mind,
    to give every man according to his ways,
    according to the fruit of his deeds.”
    (Jeremiah 17:5-10 ESV)

    We all have heart issues, and left to ourselves we would always turn away from the Lord. But God...
