  GOD'S CAKE
 

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!” said the daughter.
“Would you like some flour then?   Or maybe baking soda?”
continues the mom.
 “Mom, those are all yucky!”

To which the mother replies: “Yes, all those things seem
bad 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. When ever you want to talk, He’s listening.
 He  live anywhere in the universe, and He also chose your heart.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we
might as well dance.
