A coffee grinder
from Daily Picture Hosted by Stephanie Hawkins
Today I have been reflecting on how a coffee grinder needs to have its handle turned in a clockwise direction, where it meets resistance, in order to effectively grind the coffee beans. Similarly when we receive Jesus with His Holy Spirit residing in us, we may feel resistance to corrections and/or changes being encouraged in us, to develop the fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self- control. Let us be grateful for the positive effects and changes in us, remembering that, "no temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). The beautiful aroma of coffee beans draws people. May we be prepared to be changed and to draw people to Jesus.
