THE MASTERCHEF KITCHEN 2017…
The Masterchef kitchen has much in common with our lives. The Masterchef is at the helm and we have certain ingredients that must be transformed to something big against time.
Each chef comes up with something unique to the process, but must also master certain skills and certain content to be the winner. Often, participants get a master to set the pace and the comfort of the judges is a heartwarming addition. Many ingredients are common and known (even boring!) but keeps things together. Ooooohh yes, and then there’s the dreaded mystery boxes with even mastic (tree gum)! Some participants have never encountered these and they head in a spasm terror … others have and make the most of the strange ingredients.
Oh yes, and then there’s the time! Each viewer will know how participants are sweating under that big clock. As time passes, they have to step back and be reviewed.
And the flops … it is comforting to think even the great cooks have them! Then follow the tears and hopelessness and TRY, TRY AND TRY AGAIN to make the best of what is available
Sometimes they win immunity from elimination or by going straightto the finals. It’s a big bonus and full of enjoyment!
So Father gives to us each one unique talents, personalities and histories that bring us into the competition of life. Then we have the routine – the boring things that make it possible to stay sane. We are ALL confronted with the events that we would rather not have wanted it and ingredients that challenge us and force us to move our borders and to rethink. Thankfully, there are masters that we encounter to guide and direct the ingredients of grief, loss, despair and suffering to still be transformed into something we can be proud of.
Sometimes we receive grace and win early in our race to enter the finals – early conversion and the discovery of our purpose in life. But for most of us there are flops … .a lot. Who does not know the tears of remorse, disappointment, loss and drastic change! That’s when we need to re-evaluate to find a new end product and to complete it.
Similarly, each of us are subject to time, but in this life we do not know when operating the large clock for us comes to a standstill – all we know is that the time does not last forever and must therefore struggle to achieve the objectives .
The amazing grace to us in the Masterchef kitchen is that whosoever have flops may try again, following the instructions of the Masterchef and every single one can be a winner!
May every Showme reader during this year, 2017, appreciate his place in the Masterchef kitchen, each ingredient be applied, redeeming the time and falling in love with the Lord again!
