"You Need the Steak & Ice Cream"

When we take an honest look at our lives, do we ever wonder why our Christian life looks hardly any different than the world? I know, I know kind of a tough question to start things off ...sorry :)
Really though: If we are supposed to reflect the loving heart of our heavenly Father and the fruits of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23...something is missing as a corporate whole.
The other day I was ministering to someone and trying to get across the need for the necessity of walking in a revelation of the unconditional love our Father God has for us. What transpired was an explanation from heaven that at the time really touched us both! It may bless you as well....here it is.
What would happen if you put a plate or a bowl in front of someone you were preparing food (in this case a steak or ice cream) for and started pouring steak sauce, marinade, seasonings, or any other "add on" seasoning or flavoring? In the case of the ice cream: whipped cream, syrup, cherry, etc....
Now imagine just starting to eat the toppings, seasoning, and or flavorings without having the steak/ice cream there? Kinda weird right? Well, getting a revelation and ongoing meditation on the Fathers' unconditional love for you is like the steak/ice cream. If you don't have it and walk in it, you will be trying to feed and get your "satisfaction" from the things of this world like money, jobs, other people etc.....All you get from your husband, wife, kids, job, etc.... is icing on the cake....seasoning on the steak.....toppings on the ice cream....it won't satisfy you-feed you-or bring absolute fulfillment to your life! But, if you are "fed" by the steak of His great love...all the other "things" will be a wonderful bonus to the fulfillment you already have in His love for you! Otherwise, you will always be frustrated-upset-and inwardly unsettled because the "condiments" of the world will never satisfy. This is one of the main reasons I think the Church has fallen short as a composite whole in reflecting the love of God to a fallen world...Let's receive the fullness of His Fatherly love and we will see changes happen!!!..take it to Him yourself today and ask Him what He thinks?
