What Kind of Dumpling Are You? (Dealing with Pressure)

As I stood watching the dumplings frying in the pan , The Lord began to speak to me about how people are coping with the heat life can exert on them. I noticed that as oil, or provision/ resources was poured into the pan , the dumplings had different reactions. Some dumplings soaked up oil, no matter where you put them they soaked it up. Other dumplings seemed to burn quickly no matter how or where your positioned them. Some of the dumplings seemed to take a long time to cook, and needed to be continuously turned, and others just cooked evenly, with out too much attention. Now as I watched I saw that even though the dumplings were more or less the same size,and shape, and that they were all exposed to the same heat and oil, each one needed something slightly different. All I can say is this, how we handle life varies from person to person. We all handle situations differently according to our level of understanding, awareness, and emotional state. What works for one, may not work for all, so let's remember that. The heat of situation can bring out good in some, and bad , or sad in others. So when someone is going through pressure , stress, or discomfort give them the time and space that they need. We don't always need to jump in and rescue, just like the dumplings eventually they all get cooked. Lol I hope someone got something out of this. Much love
