We are made fresh…. Eat Fresh! I remember that Subway commercial. It stuck with me and I think about it.

We can be fresh. So can He. He can be fresh in our minds & hearts.

My oldest friend and I were sitting outside yesterday just talking about Jesus and all the things He did. It was a beautiful evening. Someone in my CBS group reminded me we can talk about Him in the open without fear of repercussions. Some do not have that choice.

Fresh = having its original qualities or being unimpaired, full or renewed in vigor, not stale, sour, or decayed, not faded, worn or rumpled, altered, not salt, free free from taint, moderately strong. It is experienced. Original, vivid…. The definition from Merriam-Webster goes on.

Truth be told, Jesus fits all of those. Maybe He hits a wrong chord with some (I hate saying this, don’t we all at times or always?)

When I think of fresh I think of new and water beads.

What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator.
    Does a clay pot argue with its maker?
Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying,
    ‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’
Does the pot exclaim,
    ‘How clumsy can you be?’
How terrible it would be if a newborn baby said to its father,
    ‘Why was I born?’
or if it said to its mother,
    ‘Why did you make me this way?’”

 This is what the Lord says—
    the Holy One of Israel and your Creator:
“Do you question what I do for my children?
    Do you give me orders about the work of my hands?
I am the one who made the earth
    and created people to live on it.
With my hands I stretched out the heavens.
    All the stars are at my command.

– Isaiah 45:9-13 NLT

I didn’t know that existed. I knew that He created the world (Just read the first part of Genesis. I do not believe in the Big Bang).

I can go off in a tangent so I am trying to stay on point. I have created and first of all, I would be freaked out if one of them talked back to me. After I stopped freaking out I would be thinking, “How dare you talk back to me as I made you!”

Don’t we do that to God even though He made us? I know I do. Especially when I follow the world as it is now.
