This past week, my husband was in a car accident and a dear friend sent him some chocolates to bless him. Of course, my little Selah had to sample a piece or two. She really never has been much of a chocolate lover like her mama- but she tasted her first, in her words,"butter cream caramel chocolate".
She begged me to find more.
I couldn't find them- so I gave her some Rolos, hoping that would be close in enough.
I told her that soon, she would have the opportunity to love on some kids in the community. She said- no, I'm good. I'll stay home.
It was one of those moments when Jesus stepped in and seriously took over- so I thought I would share.
So, still holding the Rolos, I said, " Selah- if I offered you a bag of chocolates and you had never tasted them, you would probably pass them up, right?" 'Cause she is one of the
Yes mom.
But you got a taste, and now you want more.
Yes, please mom!
Well- if we never show people the real love of Jesus, they will not want more. They will not even know that He is worth wanting more of...
That's why it is important for us to show people, genuine love- cause that is Who Jesus is. We have to tell them about the purest love that has ever been. The LOVE that sent His Son to the earth. The love that allowed Jesus, to die for our sins. The Love that enabled GRACE POWER to resurrect our Savior from the grave, so that we could spend eternity with Him in Glory!
The Love that is our Refuge. Our provider, Our strength. Our shield. Our healer. Our Hope.
Now that is something worth tasting. 'Cause HE IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME!!!!
Taste and see that the Lord is GOOD... Psalm 34:8. We got to give out samples- kinda like they do at Sam's.
Amen? Amen.
And lots of folks are asking about Gene. There is no other explanation for him still being in one piece, except that Jesus must still have some chocolates for him to share...
