Piece of cake

Sometimes we wonder "What did I do to deserve this", or "Why did God have to do this to me".

A little boy was telling his Grandma how everything seems to go wrong. School, family problems, severe health problems, etc. Meanwhile, Grandma was baking a cake. She asked her grandson if he would like a snack, which of course he does.

"Here, have some cooking oil."
"Yuck" the boy said.
"How about a couple of raw eggs?"
"Gross, Grandma!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"
"Grandma, those are all yucky!"

To which Grandma replied: "Yes, all those things seem repulsive by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!"

God works the same way.

Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful! God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose your heart.
