We have lots and lots of memories
The pleasant ones and the otherwise and I pause to wonder
Why do unpleasant memories pop up and spoil our moods, sometimes it gets so bad that it can even spoil a whole day or even a week. But how come that pleasant memories don’t always have lasting effects.
After we smile, chuckle and last over it for a few minutes, some can get so good and last up to an hour or a whole day. I really do not have an answer to this but I want to illustrate some things. Let’s say we have a cup of two solution. Solution A- sugar and water (sugar) Solution B- bitter leaf and water (bitter leaf)
If I take a cup of sugar and add a drop of bitter leaf to it what will happen? If I take a cup of bitter leaf and I add a drop of sugar to it what difference will I get?
Can a drop of bitter leaf make a cup of sugar bitter?
Can a drop of sugar make a cup of bitter leaf sweet?
How powerful is the power of a drop?
What then happens if we don’t stop at one drop?
Do you know that if I keep on droppings drops and drops of sugar into the cup of bitter leaf very soon the cup will be full of sweetness and likewise if I keep on dropping drops and drops of bitter leaf into the cup of sugar very soon the cup will be filled with bitterness?
So, when bitterness is what we feel and joy seems unreachable let's start by dropping a drop of sweetness at a time to the situation on ground.
with drops and drops of sweetness, very soon the bitter situation will be made sweet
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulations: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
There is a sweetness that flows and never runs dry. It’s the love of Jesus. His promises are sweeter than honey and when you fill your life with His sweetness bitterness will not have a choice than to run out.
