Are there some people who drive you nuts?

The post Bad Cookies appeared first on Key Life.

Steve Brown: Our daughters and granddaughters are great cooks, and they make the best cookies. They learned to make cookies from their mother and grandmother. But it wasn't always that way. When they were little, the cookies they made were horrible—like eating stones, maybe worse.

I ate a lot of those bad cookies and discovered a principle: bad cookies taste better when they're made by someone you love. Are there some people who drive you nuts? Don't try to fix it. Ask God to cause you to love them the way He loves you. Bad cookies really do taste better when you love the cook. I'm Steve Brown. You think about that.

FEELING GUILTY?

Are you feeling guilty? Maybe it’s what you said to your husband or wife last night...what you did years ago…the places where you’re struggling right now. What do you do with your guilt? Ignore it or bury it? Or is there another way, one that can handle guilt for good? Guilt can lead us back to Christ to find true and lasting forgiveness. His death paid the debt for all our sins. He loves us that much.
