Popcorn Kernels For Jesus!

Popcorn kernels.....What will they look like once they are popped? Pour the golden yellow kernels into the popcorn popper of your choice (mine is an air popper), then turn it on or plug it it and watch what happens as the popper gets hot. These tiny kernels explode into popcorn pieces, they are all different shapes and sizes. Individually they are just popcorn pieces but put them together and add some salt to taste and butter (like at the movies) and AHA! we have a big bowl of delicious popcorn.

You might say how can we apply this to our lives? It is rather simple but we as Christians sometimes just have a hard time because we can not see the big picture. According to Psalms 139:13-14, We are fearfully and wonderfully made and in Jeremiah 29:11, God has a plan for us. We are like the popcorn pieces, we were each individually made by Him. We are all different: in our appearances, in our fingerprints, in our abilities, in our talents, in our strengths and weaknesses, of course this list could continue.. With each unique person God has a plan for each of us, some of us may already know that plan and some may still be waiting to hear from HIM, but regardless there will be a PURPOSE. Just like when that popcorn kernel explodes it becomes a piece of popcorn but at first glance we think it is only good for eating when in fact it can be used in many ways, for example: decoration, crafts, etc.

So how does one come together to become a big bowl of delicious popcorn? We as Chrisitans, then come together bringing all of our differences and work together. Some of us may be the supporters, some may be the encouragers, some may be the leaders, etc but in whatever role God places in you, remember You Are Special and You Were Created for HIS Purpose!
