God's cake

It seems that my life is filled with more trouble than blessings lately. It's often hard to pray with hope or a grateful heart when you are watching your life fall apart or a lot more burdens than you feel you can carry on your own. I know the felling.

Sometimes it feels as if no matter what you do, how hard you try, how much faith you have, it all turns to crap anyway. You may feel as if everyone is out to get you. There are times I'm sure I did something really wrong in a past life or something along those lines, forgetting how much I do really have to be grateful for. When I read the following, it made me look at things in a different way.

God's cake...
This is about the best thing I've ever read as an explanation.


Sometimes we wonder, 'What did I do to deserve this?' or 'Why did God have to do this to me?' Here is a wonderful explanation! A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, 'Absolutely Mom, I love your cake.'
'Here, have some cooking oil,' her Mother offers.
'Yuck' says her daughter.
'How about a couple raw eggs?' 'Gross, Mom!'
'Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?'
'Mom, those are all yucky!'
To which the mother replies: 'Yes , all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! '
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!

God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.
If you like this, send this on to the people you care about.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance!

If things are going wrong in your life, I hope this helped you too.
