Today is Wednesday, September 10th, 2008; Karen's Korner #1398
(No Karen's Korner tomorrow, as we will be gone; look for #1399 and #1400 on Friday and Saturday respectively!)
We got home from church on Sunday and I began to make dinner. It included peas.
When I picked up the can from the cupboard, it felt too light and sloshy. I cut open the can and drained it. Lots of liquid. About three large tablespoons of peas were left in the strainer.
What happened? I didn't get what I had wanted!
As I looked at my 'less than enough' servings of vegetables, I thought about our lives with Christ or without Him!
Without Him, there is some substance. The can might even look good, but there is a lot missing. Bunches of 'stuff' that needs to be poured down the drain.
With Him, He adds to the missing ingredients stored in the can. We might look the same on the outside. But the inside is completely changed. Filled up!
Thanks be to Him who restores, remakes and refills us!
"So you have everything when you have Christ,
and you are filled with God through your union with Christ.
He is the highest Ruler, with authority over every other power."
~~ Colossians 2:10
