No More Wine

John 2:3 They have no more wine.

 

     I ran out of wine 25 years ago. That was a good thing. The wine that I had, those two and half decades ago, was rotting my soul. I was hurting others and hurting myself. So, I had no

more wine, praise God.

     At that time, I was left with water. God transformed it into a new wine. That new wine was the best of wine. That new wine transformed my life. It made my life a feast. I lost things during that celebration that I am glad I lost. I lost some things during that party that I foolishly let slip away. But I discovered the best wine during this time. I enjoyed much of it. I wish I had enjoyed it more. Some of it I neglected, and I overlooked how good it was. However, it was a great party. I enjoyed that feast. I miss that celebration.

     Now, I have no more wine. I have run out of wine again. I thought I had an endless supply of wine, but I was wrong. Running out of wine 25 years ago was a good thing, but I do not see much good in the wine drying up this time.

     So, all I can do is keep going to Jesus and saying I have no more wine. I am hoping he has saved the best until last. I go on a crying jag quit often because I drank all the wine, and I have no more wine left. About all I have left in my soul is water. But I am praying Jesus turns the water in my soul into the best of wine.
