God's hope is as big as the universe, but He seems to dole it out in teaspoons.
Why teaspoons when we often feel like we need so much more just to get through the hardships of the day?
Every recipe has an ingredient that makes it come together, to work properly, to make single items combine into a greater whole.
Maybe it is a teaspoon of salt or baking powder or sugar.
Would more of the power ingredient make it better?
Do our muffins need a 1/2 cup of baking powder? Does our soup need a 1/3 cup of salt?
Conversely, to leave out the power ingredient would be to have a recipe disaster and a useless dish on our hands.
Every new day is a recipe, and when we let God help us prepare, He hides that power ingredient--hope--in some unexpected place and, a teaspoon at a time, turns our day into a thing of beauty in His eyes.
Hope is on His timeline, fashioned by Him and doled out by Him.
Don't buy false hope...it's not worth the money you fork out.
True hope is free...it is the secret ingredient of life.
