What’s better than a Dove dark chocolate for a pick-me-up in the afternoon? One of my favorite treats. I sat at my desk at work ready to eat two pieces. If you’re familiar with Dove chocolates, you know each piece has a quote or saying inside the wrapper. I opened the first one and read this quote by Molly B. from Kansas. “Throw kindness around like confetti!” I glanced up when my supervisor walked by, and I threw the second piece of chocolate to him. What could be kinder than to share my coveted chocolate?
Another quote inside a wrapper I opened this past week said, “You are never too old, and it is never too late.” Since I plan to retire soon, I love this statement. Never too late to start something new. Thank you, Lauren P. of Wyoming. I have a few new items on my retirement to-do list I hope to accomplish.
Not every saying inside a wrapper shares a person’s name such as this one. “Don’t talk about it, just be about it.” We often talk of what we hope to do but don’t put action to our words. Life happens. We put our dreams on hold. Maybe we should combine this quote with the previous one. Pursue those dreams and try something new.
What are your thoughts on this statement inside a wrapper with no author to credit? “Everyone has a happy ending. If you’re not happy, it’s not the end.”
Does this quote disturb you as it does me? Will everyone have a happy ending? Those who haven’t received the gift of Jesus Christ? Those who miss heaven? No happy ending for them.
More important than what’s inside a candy wrapper is who’s inside your heart.
Have you accepted Christ into your life? It doesn’t happen because you’ve heard of Him or go to church. You can know Him in your heart and share a relationship with Him.
If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved (Romans 10:9-10).
I hope you believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and God raised him from the dead. I pray you are a follower of Christ and growing in your relationship with Him.
If you want a happy ending, I trust you will receive Christ.
What or who’s inside your heart today?
