Candy and Your Bible

 A little girl came up to me in church on Sunday telling me that she had “put her candy in the middle of her Bible, so God would bless it.” Frankly, it was astonishing to me that she would even think such a thing. I thought, “who would think put their candy in their bible for God to bless – that’s absurd.” I went on to wonder what made her have the audacity to believe God would actually do something like that. Her comment refused to leave me…

Then just today, God said, “That was for you.” I pondered the meaning of it all, wondering if I had been wrong in my assessment. I realized that God is interested in the sweetness. The good. That which brings pleasure, joy, and happiness to my life. He longs for me to place it in the middle of His word, so He can bless it.

”For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD,

You surround him with favor as with a shield.” Ps. 5:12

 It’s been a long time…and I have something to get off my chest:

                                              I’m back, deal with it.
