Enjoyin the Main Course?
There are some days where we all wake up with a terrible dread looming over us. Everything that's ahead just seems so..dull. Absolutely nothing to look forward to except lessons, homework, scoldings, nightmares coming true etc. Sometimes we'd just wished we could go straight to heaven without going through earth. But then, I don't think God created us to be on earth to dread every single day. There's MORE TO LIFE. Let's enjoy the main course anyway, before we head for the dessert.
A man visited a restaurent because he heard about the wonderful dessert that this world renowned chef makes. So he heads down happily to the restaurent, eagerly wanting to try the dessert even before having the main course. So he orders just that. However, the waiter told him that it would be better if he ordered this particular special main course that went with it. He claimed that the dessert would taste so much better after tasting the main dish. It complemented each other. The dessert could be so much more enjoyable, although it would still be delicious when eaten just by itself.
The main dish, though, needed an acquired taste in order to be enjoyed. People had to 'find' the sweetness and joy in tasting it. They had to 'find' the goodness in it and not dwell on the awful taste, and those who are able to would find it extremly rewarding.
The man was extremly reluctant. But in the end, he recognised that it was the same chef after all. It was the same chef who created both the main dish and the dessert. If his dessert was so good, the main dish surely should be quite delicious too; of course only if he follows the 'instructions' of the chef when eating it. He therefore decided to trust the chef and order both. It was heavenly.
Father, I want to appreciate my time on earth right now, because i know that it is preparing me for a wonderful time in heaven. I know that our lives down here are not wasted and that we are not living for the sake of it. I know that You are just preparing us for a greater time in heaven, where we will see You face to face. I know that if i follow your guide, the Living Word, to live on this earth, I will be filled with peace and joy. I will be filled with the fruits of the Spirit. And I would enjoy my stay here on earth. And we look forward to the day when we meet You. The day You will say to us,"Well done good and fathful servants!" We celebrate our time here, and look forward to a bigger one up there. See you soon Father.
In Jesus' most precious name, Amen.
Fill me up,
Coz all I really want is more of You
