Transformation is in the mixing and baking!
As I am in the kitchen baking, I notice how all these different ingredients look pretty disgusting when first mixed together but yet when baked they turn into a wonderful masterpiece, a soft delicate Victoria sponge cake or a mouth watering Lemon Drizzle Cake. It doesn't take a Delia Smith to know that once you have baked a cake, those baked ingredients can never again be split into the separate ingredients that they once were. They have undergone serious development, irreversible change and after a bit of mixing, a lot of heat and a bit of time it has turned into something quite mouth watering, even if I do say so myself!
As if you have not noticed, our lives are also made up of different
ingredients. This time God is the baker. He starts with life then
adds experiences into the bowl: the hard ones and the happy ones.
Pouring in regrets, achievements sprinkled with tears, laughter and
perhaps confusion as to how all this can mix well together to be
transformed into something new and holy and without fault! But God
being the baker knows exactly what He is making and He won't stop
until He is satisfied with the end sweet delight. He is faithful to
complete the work he has begun in us. He sees you right now as
transformed because of what Jesus has done for you when he died on
the Cross. He sees you as holy, blameless and without fault and
seated at the right hand of the Father. However, God is also working
this transformation out in your life now in all that you do. It is
God who is preparing you, shaping, mixing and moulding you through
the rough times in order to produce something of your life that you
would never be able to make yourself, this cake is beyond your
imagination! Don't be surprised if things get a little hot and the
pressure increases in life for this is transformation and you have to
remember that the very essence, the very centre of God is nothing but
goodness and love for you. He is always faithful, loving and caring
no matter how much you get stirred in the mixing bowl of life. God
knows that in order to produce a wonderful, perfect outcome, he knows
the ingredients to add, how to mix them and how long each part of the
process should last i.e. how long we are in the furnace! So don't
despair! Trust God and begin to see what God sees when he looks at
you. A wonderful, tasty masterpiece!

The Mixing Bowl Of Life written by Tina is simple, self explain and good for human raise.
It best describe what the creator of all creation is doing, and that these doing are all good.
I felt good and glorified the Most Faitful One of Isreal. Havn't read the write up.
