A recent image that has given me strength is a picture of a banquet table, laden with lots of dishes, platters and bowls. They’re filled to overflowing, but not with food. In one vessel, there is “joy”, in another, “peace”. Another plate has a heap of “strength,” another dish has “perspective” and so on.
God is the Dad who has prepared this lavish meal and has called me down to eat with a hearty “sik fan la!” (for those who don’t know cantonese, that’s like “dinnertime!”) I’m free to come and take whatever I need whenever I feel “hungry.” I can also come rummage through His kitchen at any time of the day or night. Or if I have friends over, I can feel free to feed them too. This image has been a wonderfully uplifting reminder to me that I have all the resources I need to cope with whatever I’m feeling or facing in the moment. His grace truly IS sufficient.
