Scream for Icecream

Have you ever wondered why God wants to be in us? After all, there is nothing good in us apart from Him. I'd think He wouldn't want His Presence diluted with all our weaknesses, immaturities...much less sin.

I got a great analogy the other day while eating ice-cream. In the beginning, God designed an infinite amount of flavors. Each one amazing, because each was a little bit of Him. Even a little bit of God is infinitely fantastic.

Well, fast forward a bit and we have Jesus. Jesus held back His Godness to cooperate with the Holy Spirit and to show us how to do it. As He looked at the Father for direction, empowered by the Holy Spirit, the result was...magical. Out of this world. God on earth.

So today God wants to do the same thing with us, and together we make something incredibly wonderful. God is like ice-cream. He is looking everywhere for someone that wants to fully submit to Him, learn His voice, follow His lead. And when He fills that person, WHAMMO! We have a tremendous example of God's presence on earth, in a remarkably unique flavor.

You.

Tasty goodness. :)
