So I walked into the living room and there was my daughter in her playroom singing and dancing into the mirror on the wall..."just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down, the medicine go down.
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, in the most delightful way!"
I was cracking up... not just because of the song and dance (it was awesome) but God has been doing some deep work on me this Lent...and just that day He gave me such a spoonful of grace that I busted out laughing...
Growing into the man God wants me to be is painful at times and when the deep interior work is being hashed out often God is merciful and tosses us a bone.
The real medicine God gives us is the power of the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside out...He doesn't just mask the symptoms while the body heals itself, He makes a new body..and that can get uncomfortable...
So the sugar I was tossed was absolute grace from a friend...and in this action God showed me that although Grace is undeserved, it is something that God died to give away...and that my friends, is love...
and nothing is sweeter than that. With the love of Jesus in us, any medicine can go down...so what kind of sugary grace has God used in your life? What kind of medicine did you have to swallow and how did it change your life
