do i have to?

"Taste and see that the LORD is good." Psalm 34:8

Allie's first taste of carrots was not a happy one, but one of dislike.  Judging by her face, she couldn't have cared less how good they were for her but wondered why she was being punished and expected to eat them.

But after a few more attempts, her attitude and appreciation for carrots changed.  She still doesn't know or understand how good they are for her, but she is liking them for her own reason.

Father, i don't care for changes, but prefer sameness and comfort in life.  Help me to remember when You bring or allow changes in my life, it is for my good.  I might not see or understand what is happening but need to learn and accept the Truth that you work ALL things to the good, to those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Acknowledgement of this Truth will provide the needed peace in times of turmoil and wonder.

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live, love and do like we believe it,
