Welcome to part 2 of, “Why You Make God Smile…”. In Volume 1, there was a poem that began,
There’s coffee in the sugar,
There’s mould on the ham,
Toast crumbs in the margarine,
And butter in the jam.
I really do hate seeing little brown lumps mingling amongst the sugar crystals. I get annoyed that the previous user didn’t bother to fetch a clean spoon after dipping it in the coffee jar. But of course, I too have annoying habits and those who live with me are probably driven crazy by things I do.
None of us are perfect, and I take great delight in reminding you once more that Jesus died for us while we were still sinners.
Some of the chapters in this book are true stories about imperfect people who had an encounter with a very real God, who accepted them as there were, then changed them into the person they were created to be. It also focusses on certain tragedies of life that break his heart: sickness, bereavement, loneliness, rejection, fear, war, betrayal, hatred and unbelief.
I hope you find something you can identify with and that it blesses you greatly. Often when we read about difficult situations, somebody comes to mind whom we think would benefit from the encouragement. Therefore, feel free to pass this book onto your friends, relatives and acquaintances if you know they would be uplifted by any poems or stories.
Much love,
