[Discoveries] 06-24-08 Chocolate -- Ephesians 1:16

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*I have not stopped giving thanks for you ... -- Ephesians 1:16*/

I like chocolate. Brownies, chocolate cake, chocolate chocolate-chunk 
ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, Hershey's Special Dark, Mounds, 
Nestle's Crunch -- all favorites of mine.

Heaven would be a wonderful place if it was just you and God. You could 
spend all eternity exploring the heart of God and never get tired. But 
God means to multiply the enjoyment by sharing with us something He 
enjoys ... His children.

One time someone gave me a hundred candy bars. Do you know what I liked 
best about that gift? I was able to turn around and give away chocolate! 
It was so nice to share the treat with others. I could have kept all 100 
candy bars and gobbled them up myself. But the enjoyment entered a new 
dimension when I shared them with others.

In this verse, Paul is giving thanks. Whenever someone is giving thanks, 
look around and see what God is giving away. In this case, it's 
relationships. God has given us each other -- brothers and sisters in 
Christ. We can laugh together, cry together, work together and rejoice 
together. It is a precious gift. Thank you!

Be encouraged!
Dwight
