Who needs milk?


Somebody like Oreo cookies!  All she needs now is the milk!  Have you ever felt the way she does about something?  It really doesn't have to be food; it could be baseball or knitting or reading or perhaps the love of your life.  You just couldn't spend enough time, money and effort in getting your heart's desire.  But what if you had messed up?  You dropped the ball in the outfield or hurt your love so badly that you don't even speak any more?  Suppose you had a second chance to make things right?  What would you do?  Here is what the Corinthians did in response to Paul's rebuke in his first letter to them...

WEB: II Corinthians 7:11. For behold, this same thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.

Anybody can talk about changing their life; I would bet that there are more than a few of us who have already forgotten our "New Year's Resolutions"!!!  But the Corinthians changed their ways; they did something about how they lived and according to this passage they did it in a big way!!!  Reality is that if you really want something, you will do almost anything to get it; milk is optional!!!
