My Vinegar

Pain is hard, but I know God is teaching me through it. Even when I follow His voice, I will still have pain--but He will always be the balance that keeps the pain from penetrating deep into my heart.

I am allergic to most acidic food--okay, all acidic foods. So, I saw a tomato and even asked God if I should eat it. You get in the habit of asking questions when you've been hurt. So, I ate the tomato with some yummy sea salt, and it tasted good! But....it burned my mouth (as per normal). A perfectly good healthy food is bad for me. So, I decided to drink some red wine vinegar. I was told by my homeopath that when you balance acid with acid it balances out. I know, it sounds crazy, but it works! My mouth stopped burning, but it was not easy getting down that vinegar!

Gos showed me that sometimes things that seem like a beautiful plan aren't always the best plan. We can go ahead and do it, but we might endure pain God is like the vinegar was to me. he won't take away the pain, there might be some discomfort, in fact, there will be. But, God will balance everything out in His own perfect way.

All we need to do is to drink the vinegar so we don't let the acid take over. We will be balanced...and we will be changed--if we let Him.
