I am eating pears and thinking about how God created them. He created their taste and their texture. He created their smell and their color. He knew how much I would adore them and knew that one day I would be sitting in bed reading and would go to take a bite of one delicious pear half and before I could swallow I would have this revelation- that the creator of the UNIVERSE, the one who made the stars and thought- then spoke all of creation into being made pears just for me! :-) Just because he knew that I would crave them and desire them and that they would satisfy my tummy.
Isn't that a blissful thought?!?!
Yes. I thought so too.
Then after I was done with that thought another one came upon me. How insanely in love with me He must be. I mean if He created pears just to please my tummy think about all the other things He does for me throughout the day to ease my mind and touch my heart.
Have you ever just sat at the end of the day and reflected on all of the things He did for you throughout? I mean as if the cross weren't already enough?
Lets look at this.
This morning I woke up at 4:30, rested and rejuvenated. I quickly turned and looked at my alarm clock and saw the time. Deeming it to early to wake-up I stubbornly rolled over and went back to bed.
He tried to wake me up this morning because He wanted to meet with me. He wanted to talk to me and spend time with me but I stubbornly rejected him.
When I did eventually give into the fact that I was not going to be getting anymore sleep I picked up a book, not my bible, as I should have, but a novel.
Rejected twice.
Then this morning when I got to class, I felt anxious, I knew that I would be getting my music theory mid-term back but once again instead of praying for peace I squirmed in my uneasy-ness creating a nice bed for myself. Why after all this years when it comes to the little things do I still forget to pray? Jesus HELP ME!
Three times.
And that was all before 9 AM!
As the day went on there was much of the same. Opportunity and Rejection.
Now I am sitting in bed, wondering where the day has gone- my pears all but forgotten.
He asks- Did I further His kingdom today?
I can only hope so because honestly today was a day full of what I wanted to do, not what the maker had in store for me. Lets pray that tomorrow I listen better. Lord please dont hesitate to wake me up again. Tomorrow would be lovely. I am sorry I missed our special time, I will try harder.
I would love to meet with you tomorrow morning... I have to thank you once again for some pears that blessed me in a way most dont get blessed by fruit.
