Every single morning, almost without fail, I have at least one cup of
coffee. I know it's probably a bad habit but I'll be the first to admit
I'm addicted. I wake up thinking about what flavor of coffee I want that
morning and when I go grocery shopping I stand at the refrigerated
section of the grocery store staring at the variety of coffee creamer's
weighing my decision of which creamer I am in the mood for this time. I
guess there's worse things I could be addicted to! Regardless, my
routine goes that I make my cup of coffee, pour in a bit of sugar and
then make my way to the refrigerator to pour in my creamer. With as many
times as I have poured creamer into my coffee, it has only been
recently that I have truly noticed something interesting about the
"creamer pouring" process. When you pour lightly colored creamer into
dark roast coffee (or any coffee for that matter) the creamer fills only the
bottom of the mug. You can really see this if you use a clear glass
coffee mug. Every bit of creamer you pour into your coffee settles
across the bottom of the cup like a thick fog across the ground. Not
until you stir the coffee does the creamer overtake the rich coffee and blend
to where you can't tell what the color used to be. The two become
one!
Lesson Learned? When you put creamer into your coffee it separates
itself from the coffee until enticed by the spoon to mix in. This is
just like God in our lives! God is a gentleman and, just like the
creamer, won't mix with the coffee on it's own, God won't consume your
life unless prompted by you. YOU have to invite HIM in! When invited,
though, and when you finally do "mix" God into your life, something
amazing happens! There comes a point when you have mixed so much that
you don't remember what you used to look like. Everything about your
make up changes. You become something new...something better! The two
become one!
