Would you enjoy a slice of moist chocolate cake with a
creamy frosting? I would too, especially if it had a scoop of vanilla ice
cream beside it. I recently witnessed a Christian sharing her faith over
a piece of delicious chocolate cake. She included the cake as part of her
conversation about God. I thought what a novel idea? I could see that the
words she shared were touching the heart of the hearer.
This Christian woman used the written word “cake” to bring
up some points that she wanted to share about her God. I remember these
thoughts. The acronym has been a good reminder to me for my daily life and it
is another way to share God. These are the seeds that she planted in the heart
of her friend.
C=
You can COME to God
A=
You can ASK God
K=
You can KNOW God
E=
You can ENJOY God
C: Hebrew 7:25 Jesus
is able always to save those who come to God though him, because he
always lives,
asking God to help them. Revelation 3:20
Here I am! I stand at the door and
knock. If you
hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and eat with you, and you will
eat with me.
A: I John 5:15 And
this is the boldness we have in God’s presence; that if we ask God for
anything that
agrees with what he wants, he hears us. If we know he hears us every time
we
ask him, we know
we have what we ask from him.
K: I John 5:20 We know
that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding. So now
we can know the
one who is true, and we live in that true God. We are in his Son, Jesus
Christ. He is the
true God, and he is eternal life.
E: Psalm 92 Lord,
you have made me happy by what you have done; I will sing for joy about
What your hands
have done.
When you have a friend who is lonely you can come to God
together in prayer. You can invite a friend to come study the word of God with
you.
When you have a question or need guidance, you can ask God.
Your friend may be struggling with something and you can offer to ask God for
help by praying with them.
We can share our love for God with others. We can show
others His love, so that they can experience it and come to know Him.
We can enjoy God as we trust and experience the love he has
for us. We can show others that we enjoy living for Him.
Almighty God, you who call me to prayer, and who offer
yourself to all who seek your face, pour out your Holy Spirit upon me today and
deliver me from coldness of heart, a wandering mind, and wrongful desire. By
the power of your spirit place within me steadfast love and devotion, so that
today I may worship and serve you with all of my life; through Jesus Christ my
Lord. Amen.
