You won't look at coffee the same way again

I was making coffee last week, and the Holy Spirit showed me something.

​We are like coffee beans at different stages of our lives. Then God begins to transform us by turning us into coffee grounds, which is uncomfortable (It hurts). Now to get us to the place of holy living, He places us in a filter (to purify us), mixes us with the water of His Word, and we become that delicious coffee.

​However, we are still bitter at this point, so guess what? He has to sweeten us with the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, etc.).

​I love the way He teaches me.
