Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God do this to me?" Here is a wonderful explanation!
A daughter is telling her mother how everything is going wrong.
She's failing algebra, her boyfriend! broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "absolutely Mom, I love your cake".
"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers. "Yuck" says her daughter.
"How about a couple of raw eggs?" "Gross, Mom!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Mom, those are all yucky!"
To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will make something wonderful!
God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.
If you like this, send this ! on to the people you really care about. I did.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

No matter how you or I attempt to explain who God is and what He does, there will be those people who have yet to have the "veil" removed from their way of thinking. The metaphor you have shared is nice, and it will make sense to some, and to others, it's just a nice story. The fact that you choose to post it is what matters. God is real. God does want to reveal Himself to everyone. The recipe is simple: "Ask, Seek, Knock"
Thank you for be an encourager to those who need a hand to hold or a shoulder to rest their weary head on. God Bless.

look im an optimist but thats a little sugar coated, some times it all goes wrong and doesnt get better or turn out all right. ask those people what God's plan is all about.

I heard the same thing in Touching Spirit Bear, and I agree with it.

This is a WONDERFUL analogy of life. More people should look at it this way instead of thinking theirs is so terrible. We are all alive...and I believe we are alive for a reason...and that's not to be tortured but to learn......Thank you for posting this.
