Do you ever open your
'fridge to look for something delicious, even though you already know
there's nothing tasty inside?
I'm guilty of that. As if opening the refrigerator enough times will cause a cheesecake or roast chicken to magically appear.
"Wow Honey, when I
looked in the fridge 10 minutes ago there was only a pile of wilted
veggies, a hunk of leftover roast, and a cup of spaghetti sauce in
there. But now it's like Baskin-Robbins. Whoo hoo!"
As my family can tell you,
I'm not a great cook. I have one redeeming kitchen skill: I'm the
Queen of Dinner Scraps. I can turn a leftover mess into a
masterpiece.
So today after looking in my
fridge for the 3rd (OK-48th) time, I pulled out the limp veggies,
beef chunk, and cup of Prego. I put all those sorry scraps in a pot,
added water and pasta, and boiled it. Those leftovers transformed
from a mess to a masterpiece.
At dinner I offered my
husband the "Hearty Italian Beef Soup." He devoured it like
a lion attacking a wildebeest.
Victory! A new culinary
masterpiece is created!
Are you dealing with a mess?
Divorce? Problems at work? Bullying at school? Loneliness?
Do YOU feel like a mess?
God wants to help.
He loves us so much that He
gave his Son so we could be new creations. That's what those "John
3:16" signs at ballgames are about.
If you're fed up with mess,
ask Jesus into your life. He's the one who can turn even the worst
situations around.
It's simple. The bible says
"If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in
your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Romans 10:9 NIV
Your prayer can be this
simple:
Jesus, please forgive my
sins, and be my savior.
You go from mess to
masterpiece in the blink of an eye.
God transforms you, and even
gives you a great new name. He calls you His.Victory! A new eternal masterpiece is created-you!
