The Last Biscuit in the Tube

By

Scriptural reference: Luke 19:10 (KJV) "For the SON of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."

John 6:39 (KJV) "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which HE hath given ME I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day." 

Tonight, as I was preparing my dinner, I chose to use the pop-up dough biscuits. Per usual, I struggled to get the spoon at the proper angle so my biscuits had a chance to look more like the photo and less like blobs. I was so focused on the biscuits fitting into my baking dish that when the biscuits were all neatly nestled, I thought every biscuit was out of the tube.

I set my timer and when I began to smell the baking I knew soon I would enjoy a delicious biscuit.

Ding!

When the biscuits were ready I carefully retrieved them from the oven and buttered them gently while salivating with glee. When I had removed all of the biscuits from my baking dish I began to count them. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...." That number seemed odd to me. I counted them again. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...." 

Then I checked the package and it blazed in front of me, 'Servings per package: 8'

Well, then I examined my biscuits to see if one of them was overly large. They were all the same size. Then I looked more closely at the opened biscuit tube. Nestled in the bottom of the tube was the last uncooked biscuit.

Suddenly, I recalled that JESUS knows all of HIS redeemed sons and daughters everywhere. JESUS draws us to HIMSELF that we would be saved. We are saved by faith. We are saved unto eternal life because of JESUS' sinless life, bloody cross, and bodily resurrection by which HE imputes HIS righteousness to us by faith and grace. We are preserved and sealed as we receive HIS indwelling HOLY SPIRIT who lives within us, who works through us, and who will produce from our obedient lives HIS will in the earth for HIS glory. 

Salvation is a miracle. To be drawn by a holy and righteous GOD is a miracle of unearned faith. All I brought to JESUS was a broken life of sin and an utterly filthy soul. 

But JESUS saved me. JESUS saves me. JESUS will continue to keep me saved. I am redeemed and look forward to the full receipt of my redemption when I shed this earthly house for eternal life with JESUS. Amen.

That single uncooked bit of biscuit dough was headed to the garbage as long as I didn't know it was still uncooked and in the tube. I baked it, all by itself, in the same pan. When that last biscuit was cooked it joined the other beautifully buttered biscuits to become part of my dinner tonight, and tomorrow.

I hope you can see the implications and correlations here.... purpose, redemption, fellowship, and joy. 

Every precious soul that enters eternity without surrendering their life to JESUS, in time, can only look ahead to know they will be eternally separated from JESUS. JESUS CHRIST is our only way to joyful life in eternity.

If JESUS is wooing you to HIMSELF please do not harden your heart. Today is the day of salvation. While you live in time, prepare for eternity, by submitting your soul to the LORDSHIP of JESUS and be saved today. This precious salvation is a gift that cannot be bought with money. Your eternal soul has a destiny. Please choose JESUS and live.

Repent.

Be baptized.

Receive the gift of salvation given by JESUS.

If you are a disciple of JESUS, remain submitted to JESUS and repent as often as needed. Live in the covenant of Love that JESUS bought with HIS precious blood for you. Nothing in this world can replace the precious gift of eternal life.

Scriptural Reference: John 8:32 (KJV) "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Ephesians 4:25 (KJV) "But speaking the truth in love...."   Full sigh and deep breath.  Repeat. This is the way I am right now and since some special dear people who love me have spoken life transforming truth(s) to me.  There are occasions when we may find ourselves in conversations about our lives that has been witnessed by long-time friends, and close family relations. Our mutual proximity to one another is often a place where true bonds of emotional vulnerability and trust are created and strengthened with time. I am so grateful to JESUS for providing such an environment and persons who promote this type of atmosphere in my life. I know that this is not common. I am certain this is unique. I am not surprised that few groups, and fewer families, know this precious treasure. I celebrate JESUS grace in providing the confidante(s), companion(s), and true friend(s)...

I Hate Sin!

  Scriptural Reference:  Romans 6:23, 'For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of GOD is eternal life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.'     In honor of the memory of Rob and Michele Reiner for  Princess Buttercup and Wesley,  Harry and Sally, and  all those who love vicariously through them because of  those romantic hearts  I grieve  the penalty of sin and  rejoice in the redeeming  gift of GOD  through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.   My family, like other families, continues to experience disharmony for various reasons such as differing faiths, unpopular life choices, opposing opinions, and random bits of likes and dislikes. However, in my continuing pursuit of peace, because of JESUS LORDSHIP in my life, I do not use my words, or hands to harm. May all our mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and kindred far and wide come to the saving knowledge of JESUS CHRIST. The terrible penalty of ...

Victory!!!

Scriptural reference: Galatians 6:9 (KJV) "Be not weary in well doing, for in due season you will reap if you faint not."       I had a tantrum and fainted like a proper southern belle!!! I swooned and promptly fell unaware, soundless, and without a visible witness to call for help. I landed on the proverbial rock-bottom ground with my unrealized hopes and dreams splayed around me like copper and red hued dried leaves. I lay unconscious and still. I lay there in undignified, uncovered and unseemly wretchedness in the middle of the floor of my weary life. At first glance the collection of musical information noted on a page of sheet music doesn't look like much of a triumph. These few measures do not readily announce the effort, straining, tears and passion poured into a project that is still a work in progress. The naked eye cannot see the enduring unspoken longing that this fragment of notation heralds. It is there. Look again, and perhaps you will see it. Thirty-five ye...

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor ...
