Still, now you have been salvaged and ground up to feed some hungry children, but this must be a low point for you, you should've been part of something incredible or a steak or something, but look at it like this: at least you aren't being used for meatloaf.
OK, this thought came while I was browning the meat for my hamburger helper. I was listening to the talk for church, waking the kids for breakfast while steeping tea for me and practicing piano to set a proper mood when I heard the sizzling from the stove top. I yelled over my shoulder, "yeah, I hear you already, just a moment." I finished the chorus, jumped up and ran to the meat, and laughed to myself about the lesson I was getting.Often we feel like we have reached our potential, we sizzle and pop trying to get God's attention, but like Elijah said to the priests of baal, um. Maybe he is too busy right now, or isn't listening. But, God does hear and has a purpose for you, and is waiting for you to find your correct state, you only think you are overdue. Or maybe you imagined a different purpose and the conflicts were endured with that purpose as your aim, but, you were being perfected for a different purpose...one you least understand or expect, but remember their source. Would I just overcook ground beef for no reason? No, that is why I shouted back that I hear your warning sizzles, you are ripening, I am coming. You will meet your purpose, and it will make my children happier than having a cow over for dinner!
