John 6:57
That night, after a sigh of relief and a wonderful dinner, I crawled into bed. But I couldn’t stop thinking about that make-up bag and how dependent I am on things I take for granted. Everyday. What would life be like without a hairbrush, a toothbrush or any of the stuff we put on our faces? Or, would we survive if we didn’t have pills to keep us alive? Well, I hoped I would never have to find out.
But my mind didn’t stop there, for as I stared into the dark, I got to thinking about God and the things He provides that I take for granted. The air I breathe, the ability to walk and talk, His love, forgiveness when I mess up, the fact that He will work everything together for good, His constant and abiding presence, not to mention a thousand other things. I can talk to Him about anything, trust Him with everything, and read of His love and instructions for life in the Bible. The question that pierced me in the darkness was how could I ever live without such things?
I don’t know, but one thing I do know is that it took a make-up bag left behind to remind me what I truly cannot live without.
Blessings and love,
