COFFEE

"I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in rigtheousness and justice, in lovingkindness and mercy; I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, And you shall know the Lord." - Hosea 2:19-20

As I was brewing the coffee and as I was smelling the aroma with a great joy knowing that I'll have a cup of nice coffee this morning; a gentle reminder came to mind- origin of the coffee powder came from grounded coffee beans.
Ahh....to be grounded, processed, broken etc...I'm sort of familiar with this process, I know these never come with great pleasure or comfortable moments but I'm sure the end result will be growing moment and beautiful. I remember one of my speaker said 'as you go through the wilderness, it's your choice to come out 'BETTER' or 'BITTER'. I know moments of this great bending often woo us to give up,to go on our own ways, to let go of Him...BUT...how much can you and I strengthen this bending moments or change this process?
I guess when we have decided to have Him in every bits of our live, He; as our beloved will never ever shut His eyes or even thinking 'bout taking His hands off. He's here, there and everywhere...and I'm confidently sure He's walking alongside us through the wilderness.
So... to come out 'BETTER' or 'BITTER' surely is my choice. If I want the aroma to fill the room then 'grounding moments' are needed.

Today- which one do I choose? To stay as coffee beans or to be grounded coffee?
To acknowledge Him as my beloved or to only acknowledge Him as my religion/ belief?
