Friday Food

Sometimes food for our soul comes in the most unlikely places.  Sometimes it is hard for us to see the food God provides us because it is in people and places that we don’t like, approve of or want to be around.  God and the food God provides for your soul is constantly near you and lives in you and your neighbor and your enemy.  Look and see God.  God is all around.  When you go to dark places in your mind or in the way you live your life, God waits patiently for you.  God calls to you in the darkness.  God sees you in the small dark places and opens a door so that you may walk out.  God does this no matter how many time you get caught or lost in the dark places of life because God loves you.  God will never abandon you no matter how many times you get lost in the dark places.  God is always calling you to a life of light and hope.  God calls you out of darkness so that your light will shine and others will know of God in and through you.  If you find yourself lost in the darkness this weekend, stop and ask for help and wait until it comes and know that it will come quickly.  Don’t be surprised when God offers you a bit of soul food to sustain you even in the darkest moments.  It might come in the most unexpected way.  So rest, eat and trust God to show you the light.
