Authentic versus Pseudo?

 

 If you are going through a difficult,hard -to- fathom process, then this might explain it?

 

Have you ever been to a real pizzeria? Especially a real, authentic Italian place? The dough is the best! That dough goes through some major abuse before it is ready to be served and eaten. It is slammed down on the counter. Bam! It’s treated very rough. A rolling pin mashes it and flattens it out. It is twirled around on a single finger, then thrown spinning up in the air.

Now, most people aren’t thinking about the process of making the dough. They just want the good stuff—the pepperoni, sausage, cheese, and sauce. But the good stuff doesn’t happen unless the dough has been made ready to receive it.

See, many people want to see the goodness of God, the power of God, or the blessing of God and wonder why it’s not happening the way they think it should. God is trying to tell them that “the dough isn’t quite ready to receive it.” Sometimes we are just not ready for the blessings of God to be fulfilled.
