Lately I've been eating a lot of apples and trying to find the perfect apple to please my very picky taste buds.
Do you know those stickers that are on the apples?
I've noticed that some stickers are easy to peel off with a little tab that is already partially removed. Simple to slide your nail or finger underneath of and take right off.
Others don't have a tab, but generally have a wrinkle that I can get my nail into with a little bit of work and remove the sticker.
But my favorite apple, Cripps Pink Lady, has a sticker adhered so perfectly with such a strong glue that I can't get my nail under an edge without bruising the apple. I end up actually removing the flesh of the apple to remove the the sticker.
I want to have faith that strong. I want to be a witness for God like that. To know that to attempt to remove God from my life would be to Him from my flesh. I don't want to have a peel tab or a wrinkle to make it easy to separate me from my God.
I know the only way to keep my faith that strong, to keep the relationship so alive that I am so protected is to live in His word. To wake up with Him, to live with Him, to be with Him at all times. This is something that I have learned a lot about this summer and I hope to learn much more about as the fall starts. I know that my faith sticker is not perfect and strong yet, but I do know that the wrinkles are smoothing out.
Find something today to remove your peel tab. Work towards smoothing out a wrinkle this afternoon so that tomorrow we can all have a more difficult to remove faith sticker.
