God Can Use Anything.
Monday, March 18, 2013
I woke up, read my devotions. I got out of bed and my
prayer, “May my actions reflect my heart, and may my heart reflect Your love.”
The girls woke up so I head into the kitchen to cook breakfast. I am going to
make scrambled eggs and sausage.
Audrey asks, “What kind of sausage is it?”
I reply, “Regular.”
Audrey says, “Oh.” In a way that sounds rather
unimpressed.
Cara asks me, “What’s for breffast?” in her sweet 3 year
old way.
I reply as I did with Audrey. And I get, “I do not like
scwambled eggs and sausage.”
I was very angry, anxiety climbing. I tell them fine you
can fend for yourself. One of these days when you have children they will be
unappreciative of everything and you will then know how I felt.
Tap, tap, tap. I hear in my heart. You know my daughter,
this is how I feel. I have given what I feel to be the most precious gift and
my lost children continue to turn their noses at it. I have placed a
spectacular buffet before each of my children. Mounds of grace, mercy, love,
peace, joy, wholeness, are all there for the taking. I picked up the bill for
you all. I placed my Son on earth to live as you live. He placed His body up on
the cross to receive each one’s punishment. How else can I say that I love you?
What will it take for you to eat at this buffet of goodness? Why is everything
else in life so much more important than serving Me? Why do you allow excuses
to rule your heart? My daughter, you are loved. Let my peace rule in your
heart. Follow me, and me only. Do not allow life’s little aggravations to turn
your heart away from Me.
God can use anything to speak to us. This was not how I
planned on spending my morning. I did not think that “scwambled eggs and
sausage” would be such a big lesson today. Thank you, Lord.
