Daily Encouragement For March 17:

A little boy came home from school telling his Aunt how everything was going wrong at school. There were school problems, family problems, health problems, and even he was having some problems.

Meanwhile, Auntie was in the kitchen putting some various ingredients in a bowl to make a chocolate cake. “Would you like a snack?” Auntie asked.
“Yes, I would.” he replies.

She pours some melted butter in the bowl and hands him the rest, “Would you like some butter?”
“Yuk.” he shrugs.

Then she cracks some eggs and puts them in the bowl, “How about a couple of raw eggs?”
“Gross Auntie!”

“How about some sugar? Some flour? Some baking powder? Or some cocoa powder?”

“Auntie, none of that would make a good snack!”

Auntie replies, “You see, all these ingredients are needed to make a delicious chocolate cake, but without one of them it would be awful. When they are put together the right order, it is made into something wonderfully delicious.

God works the same way in our lives, many times we wonder why He would allow us to go through so much that seems like it is not good for us, but they are all ingredients to make us into something wonderful. We just have to trust Him, put all the ingredients together in the right order and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful in us!"

“And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” - Romans 8:27,28.
