Upon Entering The Kindy My Family Owns
While Reading "wild at heart",
I Felt The Need To Eat Something*not the 1st time eva*
As I Opened The Fridge Doors, I Noticed A Tin Of
Famous Amos
Chocolate Chip & Pecan Cookies
*pause to drool*
Then It Came To Me....
Wasnt It Weird That There Was A Tin Of Cookies In The Fridge?
But Then Again, We're All Weird In Some Way..

So I Took One Out Of The Tin & Ate It.
Next Thing I Know, Im Munching On One
While Having Another In Hand.

Why?

Its Not Just Because Im Me..
But Because I Had Never Eaten A Cold Cookie Before.
The Taste Was Weird & Strange
But Somehow It Was Good.
And I Thought To Myself....
"i loveee cookiess :) but only HOT ones..
or COLD ones.. like these!
Normal ones are just boring and yuck.



Then It Occurred To Me...
Its The Same With Us And God..
Just As We Delight In Cookies. He Delights In Us.
And He ABSOLUTELY Adores The Taste Of Hot Cookies
That Melt In The Mouth Of Its Eater...
&Every Now And Again...
He Enjoys The Weird Class Of The Cold Cookie.
Because Its Unique In Its Own Way...

But As For The Plain, Normal, Lukewarm Cookie
It May Be Tasty..
But It Doesnt Get Him Addicted. And LONGING For More..
See God Is Just Like Us. He Loves The Same Things We Love,
He Enjoys The Same Things We Enjoy...
He Is At The End Of The Day OUR God.

And Dont Be Worried If You LOVE Them Normal Cookies...
Im Not Saying God Hates You...But This Is For Me (:
See God Is A God Who Chooses What God Roles He Plays Perfectly For You.
No, It Doesnt Mean He Has A Identity Crisis,
No, It Doesnt Mean God Cant Make Up Who He Is..
It Also Doesnt Mean God Changes His Ways For Us..
Because God Isnt A God Of Preference. He Is A God Of Applicability
And Whatever Your Taste Buds Tell You (:
God Told Em To Do That.

Coming Back To The Illustration Of Us Being Cookies...
God Loves The Ones That Are Steaming Hot
On Fire And All Out Burning For Him.
He Also Loves Those Who Feel Cold. And Lost And Broken
Because He Wants To Draw Them Back To Him.
But Somehow. He Doesnt Like Them Normal Ones..
Simply Because They Are Normal.

Whatever Type Of Cookie You Are Today.
Just Remember One Thing..
We're Still his Cookies Anyway

Josh.
