We’ve all heard the expression when life gives you lemons, make lemonade, but no one ever mentions that you’ll need to add water and sugar (–and sometimes even more sugar–) to make it taste great!
I’ve had to add a lot of sugar to my lemonade. I’ve gone years where my lemonade was so sour I never got it right. I’d add more and more sugar (thinking the sweeter the better) only to throw it all away to start from scratch again.
God knew there would be times where life would give us lemons. He never promised lemon-free days, but He did promise us better days ahead. His word gives us just enough faith (water) and hope (sugar) to sweeten the deal. Add the right amount of both and you’ve got the perfect lemonade.
Follow His directions … He’ll give you exactly what you need. Amen~
