Geeks for Christ

Ever had a warm, moist and chewy chocolate chip cookie? I could just see myself sitting back with a plate full of those cookies, and on the other hand a cold glass of milk. Every once in a while I ask my wife to bake me a few, but for one reason or another she never gets to. Sometimes when she does, they are not what I had envisioned in my mind. Other times we see a recipe online, and the picture looks so good that it makes you want to eat the screen. However when we try to duplicate that recipe it just does not come out right.

When I was 11 years old, someone gave me a taste of a cookie. It was the best tasting cookie I ever had in my life. A few months later someone else gave me the recipe on how to make those cookies. I have spent the last 25 years studying and preparing that recipe so that I could make the perfect cookie, just the same way I remember it when I first tasted it. During these 25 years I also had many other people try to show me the right way to make these cookies. However when I tasted theirs it tasted identically to the ones I made myself.

I Give Up!

I finally realized something, no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to make those cookies. Only the person that created the recipe is the only one that can make those cookies. I realized the most important thing, that person loves me more than anyone has or ever will. He has a never ending supply of those cookies for me to enjoy anytime I want to eat them. The only reason I was given the recipe was to show me how I was going to end up one day.

That cookie was Christ and the recipe is the Bible, one day I will be like that cookie.
