Bejeweled game - a lesson in life!

I love games, especially word games. I've spent hours with Word Whomp and Daily Word Find on Club Pogo. I recently tried Bejeweled, something different for me. It is a simple matching game. Find two gems that match place a third that matches and they make points and the puzzle reconfigures. While playing this game I realized that most of the time what I was looking for was near or close to my search area, but I would miss it. The game has a hint button which points to what you need and even then sometimes I was unable to see the right configuration.
How often in life are we searching for something and what we need is really right in front of us or at least nearby, and we don't see it. We look and look and don't see.
Trusting spirit, believing God, are moves in the game of life that help us make the match needed. We say we believe but we mumble about not having enough or our inability to do something. Neither of those things are true. God does not lie. Our inability to see is not the fault of spirit but our unwillingness to commune with spirit so that we see what spirit sees. Our unwillingness to be so wrapped in God, breathing God, being one with God keeps us from making the matches we need. In Christianity, Jesus is theone who came to show us how to make the matches. He even said "the Father and I are one". When the Father and each of us is one we can see the matches and win the game.
Peace!
