Coconuts

I have been having a strange, weird fetish, being engulfed in a crazy and insatiable, and indescribable need for coconuts. I have been craving coconut foods, desserts, drinks (they even have coconut tea), perfumes, lotions, shampoo; I crave the smell, the taste and even just looking at the them. My mind wondered if my body was needing a certain nutrient from it. I drank coconut water, ate coconut cake, bought coconut shampoo and lotions and potions (what the heck?) -but let me tell you what Poppa God did through all this: He reminded me that He was going to split open wide the hearts of men that had been hardened like a coconut shell -those husbands and wives who have let the doors to their hearts become closed. He will reveal what is sweet and tender in the things of God, and an intimate love and passion for their spouses again. YES, God uses anything, even coconuts to get our attention! To the one who wanted to give up: His word says anything is possible. He can soften a heart, but that heart has to be seeking and searching Him out. There is hope that He will reveal what is sweet and tender in the things of God, and an intimate love and passion for spouses again. "With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."  2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 (Notice the word FRUITION) Praise God!
