If Jesus is the bread of life, let my heart be the kitchen. Let my actions and words be the window to his bakery of life, so that the scent of his love wafts out of everything that I am. When people ask for bread, may I share it with them, even when I feel like there isn't even enough for myself; because there is always more, freshly made on a constant basis. And let me serve it freely and humbly to all who want to partake. For I am not the baker, just the server. So start cooking up a storm in this very heart, Lord. Order up!
*warning: I am known for my insane analogies, so I apologize in advance if they don't make sense- it's just how my brain works!
Love to you all!

That totally made sense, how you came up with such genius I will never know, but I really like the thought of us just being the server!
ReplyDeleteI love this! "I share [the Bread of Life] with them, even when I feel like there isn't even enough for myself; because there is always more"
ReplyDeleteI am guilty of this mentality to often. The beauty of Jesus (or rather, just one thing that is so beautiful about Jesus) is that there is ALWAYS more of him. He totally embodies the story of the 5,000 being fed by the unlimited supply of bread and fish. There is always more Jesus to be had!! The treasure of seeking Jesus is simply that... more of Himself!
And what a treasure that is!
Emma, i smell it girl!
ReplyDeleteBest line, "I am not the baker, just the server." Fabulous metaphor.
ReplyDeleteLove for love's sake is yummy. I'm already a fan of Emma's "Heaven's Kitchen."
