“...it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.”~ Rev. 10:9-10
John’s “little book” was bittersweet. I, personally, have never cared for bittersweet chocolate; I like the creamy milk chocolate. That is also true of my life; but, I’m afraid, I’ve had to take the bitter with the sweet, whether I liked it or not.
Romans 8:28 is sweet to the taste, but to assimilate it and make it a part of life is another thing. Some of the “all things” can be bitter when digested. But both sorrow and joy are to be part of the diet of our lives. It is sweet to quote certain texts, but, when we have to swallow them, it can be difficult.
It is good to recall when Moses cast a "tree" into the bitter waters they became sweet. So it is with us, when we cast the "tree" upon which He was crucified (1Peter 2:24), the bitter is turned into sweetness. When the soul hungers for God, every bitter thing becomes sweet.
