The Baker’s touch........................

 

I want to describe to you 

    what I think each part 

of the ingredients 

     of a cupcake would say 

         as it is being prepared by 

                  the Baker......

The egg

...wait....I don’t want to be cracked....the salt....I don’t want to be poured out.....the oil...I like it here in my bottle...the sugar, ah, the sugar, I am sweet, pour me out, use me....

the oil and the water
...wait, we don’t mix together very well, the flour, you know I can really make a mess, watch the way you scoop me out OK?....Now wait a minute...You are going to

mix all of us together and then pour us all out

....what...the oven

...no..not the oven....it’s hot in there.....I don’t want to go in there...please not the oven....but the Baker, He knows what

He is doing...He was so gentle in mixing us together....so patient...so careful in pouring us out...OK.....I don’t understand why we have to go into the oven...but the Baker is holding me

and carrying me into the oven.......wait......He is stepping into the oven with me...He’s right here...something is happening to me.....I’m changing.....I’m rising, there is a sweet aroma

it’s filling the room

...it’s time to come out now....see how careful He is putting me in a resting place...don’t touch me yet...I’m too hot.....I need some time to cool down.....wait...wait..

now.....

you can pick me up and unwrap the paper and take a bite...I’m ready.......   

Now it makes sense, 

before I didn't understand...why the cracking, the breaking, the mixing and the baking.............

    That’s how life is...we don’t understand some of the things that happen in our lives....God knows, He see’s the big picture...He just wants us to trust Him, to lean on Him and not

try to figure it all out....

     He’s changing me for His glory............
