SECRETS OF A GOD CHASER
This is everything! The passion, the pain, the frustration...the raw seek and undying love without inhibition of a God Chaser...seeking His face like never before!
DANIEL 2:22 &47
HE REVEALETH THE DEEP AND SECRET THINGS: HE KNOWETH WHAT IS IN THE DARKNESS, AND THE LIGHT DWELLETH WITH HIM.
THE KING ANSWERED UNTO DANIEL, AND SAID, OF A TRUTH IT IS, THAT YOUR GOD IS A GOD OF GODS, AND A LORD OF KINGS, AND A REVEALER OF SECRETS, SEEING THOU COULDEST REVEAL THIS SECRET. 
   Matthew 10:26
fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
what i tell you in darkness, that speak ye in the light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

The Most Valuable Player (MVP)

Anyone who knows me knows that I love cooking and trying new foods. My husband has a sweet tooth  and loves to put in his special request for all sorts of homemade cookies. One afternoon he comes in from work and makes mention of the cookies that he took to work that morning to eat during his lunch break. "That's the best batch you've ever made! I took about ten with me to work and couldn't believe I didn't bring more. Can you please make some more?"
"Really?", I said with the usual sarcasm. I worked really hard on that batch and with an extra touch of brown sugar and vanilla. I couldn't believe they were nearly gone. I had made two dozen! Deep inside I was really happy that those cookies were such a big hit with him and the kids. So of course I said "sure", I went into the kitchen and put into my mind to do another batch. I thought that this time with the chocolate chip I would add some heath toffee chips too and make them a little extra sweet and chewy, and I also wouldn't put as much salt as called for in the original recipe. I wanted them to be a little flatter and have a "melt in your mouth" effect.

I popped the first batch in the oven and waited with anticipation of a mouth-watering cookie that couldn't be duplicated and that he would want to brag to his co-workers about. I pulled them out of the oven and found that it was a disaster. The cookies didn't rise even a little bit and in fact they began to fall apart! I was soooo focused on the sugar....I played around with the sugar. I put less white sugar and a hint more brown thinking that the molasses would bring more flavor chemistry with the butter ( and I use REAL butter by the way..it HAS to be REAL!). Nevertheless, there was a lack of salt! I would often use trial and error with recipes especially with sweet potato pie and cheesecake, where the key player was the sugar. However, in many other palatable dishes, the most valuable player is the salt. Though the salt may SEEM like an inactive ingredient, we have to let the salt be what it is.

Now consider the Word of God. "Oh taste and see that the Lord is good".....some of His Word is harder to digest that other parts, but it's all good so long as we let the Most Valuable Player do His job....The Salt. We can't eliminate or decrease the salt. The salt is distinct and makes the sugar what it is. The salt may SEEM to be a small background worker but He is the MOST VALUABLE. If He is taken out of the game...you lose....and the cookies...well....they fall apart.

Jesus said we were the salt of the earth - because He lives within us. Without Him, we are nothing.

Greetings Sherry Carter! Yes, that is the what I wanted the reader to see. We as ministers of the Most High have to be sure that we don't "sugar-coat" the Word of God but let Him (the Holy Spirit) do HIs job even when we can't see "how" that increase is taking its course. We being that "salt" must do our job by allowing the Word of God to work through our daily walk...not just the talk. Thank you so much for your commentary. God Keep you!
