Have you ever gotten food poisoning before? If not, count yourself very fortunate. When I was about 11 years old, my cousin one summer around lunch time, went over to the Bingo Hall and bought us two delicious looking pickles. My parents didn't buy pickles, so I was unfamiliar with the "flavor". I didn't know what a pickle that size was suppose to taste like lol. Sour yes. But that sour, no. That night we were sick as dogs. As our parents tried to figure out what could have made us feel so aweful, they soon discovered that we ate those nasty €€$2 pickles from Bingo. Now, as an adult, I know not all pickles are gross. I like a few on a good burger once in a while, but after that experience, it took many years for me even to want to hear there word pickle!! Hahah. Please- I'm saying this. Just because you get food poisoning once after eating your favorite dish at a restaurant, would you refuse to eat from then on? Of course not! You would die. This event does not teach that food is bad, but only that your food was spoiled or ill-prepared. So perhaps not eating from that place is an order, but not banning all food. If you don't believe in God or refuse to serve Him, it may be because "someone" put a bad taste in your mouth towards Him. However, this has nothing to do with whether He exist or not. This has nothing to do with what He thinks personally about you. If you look for Him, you will find Him-the Everlasting God. The one who will never leave you. If you're not so sure about this, or you don't believe what I'm telling you then you've probably been served-up some offense. You've probably tasted some heartache.
You know, if you decided to eat candy everyday for the rest of your life what would happen to your body? Your teeth would probably be the most visible sign of decay...
the very thing you need to process your food and ready it for proper digestion. Maybe one would argue, "Oh- I don't need my teeth to enjoy what I eat!" Perhaps. But this life is not a Candy Land (if it were no one would have any teeth by the time the game was half way through lol) Besides the fact that everyone knows that candy isn't good for you, the simple fact of the matter is, life wasn't meant to "suck", we were meant to use our teeth to chew with. Eventually, other health problems would arise-maybe several at a time. I can stil hear someone saying, " ...
it is what it is. Its my life and I'll do as I please." If people only knew their worth. If we were not so naturally self-absorbed, we would all see that the consequences of our actions (whether good or bad) touches the lives of everyone around us. Your life isn't (just) for you. It's about others. You were not meant to serve yourself, but to know God and how important you are to Him. No matter what you've been told. You can still use your brain, Proverbs says in all our getting to get understanding. Knowledge is power, right? Just because you believe in God does not mean you have to be a big dummy. But to say there is no God, I'd be a fool. Creation has His fingerprints all over it! Anyway, facts are fine and good, but no one can discount the overwhelming value of experience. Once you experience a meal prepared by the Master Chef and brought out to you by the Manager Himself (Jesus), you'll never be satisfied eating candy again. Plain and simple, you need to be introduced to the Master Chef. Also, if you don't like the service you got last time, ask for a new server or the Manager! Don't let one bad meal change your opinion on food. Don't judge God by those who fail you. Let Him speak to your soul for Himself. People will always fail you, but He will not disappoint. To me, that's something worth smiling about ;)
