I love sweet potatoes. I only need a sweet potato and I’m set. I don’t need cinnamon, sugar, butter or syrup. I don’t 
need it smashed or sliced with pecans and marshmallows. The more you mess with it, the less I’ll eat it. Sweet potatoes untouched and left alone—that’s what I’m talking about! And you know the bonus of an untouched sweet potato is its chock full of antioxidants, vitamins A, B6, & C; manganese; copper; dietary fiber; potassium and iron! God is like a sweet potato. He doesn’t add anything to Himself,and He doesn’t need you to add anything to Him. He is purely, simply, uninhibitedly, assuredly, beneficially God. If you take Him in, you WILL be completely satisfied and healthy. You need rest? All you need is God. You need hope? All you need is God. You need salvation? All you need is God. You need honor? All you need is God. You need a refuge? All you need is God. It’s no different that me and my sweet potato: all we have to do is receive Him the way He came. But to take it one step further, God isn’t waiting for you to change either. God isn’t waiting for you to prepare yourself differently, God is SO NOT waiting for you to be sliced, diced, and baked with marshmallows and pecans. HE WILL TAKE YOU as you are, but YOU need to take HIM as HE IS. I hope you like sweet potatoes but I hope you love this God!
Love this post!!

Sweet potatoes are okay. Not my favorite. But God is my favorite. I know he takes me as I am through reading his word and learning from teachers, pastors, devotions, etc. and I take him as he is. How could we change perfect?

This “post” is precisely the reason why so many Christians are drowning in their own attempts to reach the world; by becoming more like the world instead of like Christ. What is wrong with using Scripture to show that God is holy and the only nourishment that can satisfy the soul? No Scripture is used here and this only appeals to the flesh with its symbolism. Another reason why woman are not usurp authority over the man in teaching. This type of bumper sticker theology is precisely why Christianity is almost indistinguishable from the world while it parades around in such worldly sophistry and why you feel like you are at a rock concert when you go to Church. Absolutely disgusting.
