God’s Cake
Sometimes we wonder why we are
experiencing some tough life lessons, or why God is allowing unpleasant
circumstances to enter our lives. Here
is a wonderful explanation!
A daughter is telling her Mother how
everything is going wrong; she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with
her, and her best friend is moving away. Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake
and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says,
"Absolutely Mom, I love your cake."
"Here,
have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.
"Yuck"
says her daughter as she rolls her eyes.
"How
about a couple raw eggs?"
"Gross,
Mom!"
"Would
you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"
"Mom,
those are all yucky! Why would you want
me to have such gross things?!”
The mother smiles and replies:
"Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put
together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!"
God works the same way. Sometimes we
wonder why He would let us go through what appears to us to be unjust or difficult.
But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work
for good! We must trust Him, and eventually, these life events and
circumstances will all make a beautiful, delicious cake that we relish with
deep appreciation.
God is crazy about you! He sends you
flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He
can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart! Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we
are here we might as well dance and enjoy the cake God is preparing for
us! Anonymous, as retold by
