Where is the spice?

How many of you have ever had a meal and something was missing?  Like the food was all there, but when you tasted, say the meatloaf, that it just was not quite right…  Something was missing.  Some ingredient was not there to make it all pop and make your mouth water…

Or maybe you don’t like meatloaf, so I lost you on that.  But think of your favorite food, and how sometimes you want it so bad, and you go out to eat and find it on the menu and you order and you know in your mind what it will taste like when it gets to you.  The waiter or waitress brings it to you and you look at and have the taste in your mind and when you taste it, it is just wrong!  That is not how it is suppose to taste…

Isn’t this how we as Christians are to the world?  We are told by God to be Salt and Light.  We are told to be the flavor they grave so that they might come to know God.  But do our lives provide the flavor they need?  Do we focus on him or on our selves and thus remove the wonderful flavor of God from the mix?  If we are not drawing people to God by the very actions we do, are we allowing God to make our mouths water and thus causing those around us to be curious about what we’ve got that they don’t.

True spirituality is mouth watering it is so good, and makes people wonder what you got, and how they can get some of that.  Are our lives salt and light to draw people to God, or are we making God to be bland and yesterdays news.

If the spice is gone, reconnect with God and allow him to spice up your life!
