Enriched bleached wheat flower, niacin, thiamine
mononitrate, riboflavin, sugar, water, corn syrup, FD&C yellow 5...
What are these ingredients? What could possibly come together using all
of these items? Well, before I tell you, let me give you an illustration
I unfortunately cannot take complete credit for, and most of you know
that kills me.
Let's say you were hungry; and lets also say you're at my house and I
offer you a nice bowl of cellulose gum! Oh boy wouldn't that be g— What?
Oh, not good?
Well how about drinking some soy protein isolate! No?
What about any of the ingredients named in the beginning of this
article?
Of course not! There is no way you would open wide for a nice cup of
mono and triglycerides; I can't even believe the word triglyceride is in
my spell check!
But, take all of these ingredients (plus several others), and you get a
tasty treat known as a Twinkie! A delicious yellow sponge-cake dessert
with a creme filled center.
If I offered you a Twinkie instead of the hodge-podge of items, you
would be much more inclined to take it.
Here is a verse found in Romans chapter 8.
And we know that all things work together for
good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His
purpose.
Are we promised a life of happiness? No, but we are promised that
whoever loves God, and is living for him, will be content. When the
stress hits, I.e. homework, peer pressure; and when things are not going
the way we want, I.e. relationships, temptation. If we rely on God and
follow his will, He will give us peace. We will realize just how small
each of these situations, or ingredients, are in the big picture of our
relationship with Christ.
It is just like all of the ingredients coming
together to make something sweet, only non-fat, health and good for your
soul.
