Random Acts of Vandalism

The other day in the Caf, I randomly decided I wanted a banana... much like my friends odd desire to buy a cake not too long ago, this was an odd decision for me. I'm not a big banana fan - and when I do eat them, they better still be pretty green. None of the bananas were my preferred ripeness, but I wanted one nonetheless. I grabbed a banana and threw it on my tray without much thought.
As I was finishing my food, I went to partake of my banana. WELL... the picture you see above is the very banana that I had in my hands - verse and all. If you're not familiar with this verse, it says:

Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?"

I wanted to post about this the minute it happened, but I was waiting for the necessary words to come. Turns out, I don't really need to say much as the verse pretty much speaks for itself. I have been seeking said 'glory' for a while. I sense His power, His love and His grace so much every day, but His glory is something that I fail to grasp or feel like I would like to.

At first, upon seeing the handwritten graffiti on my defenseless banana, I was appalled. Someone has touched my banana... AND written on it. I mean really, who messes with other people's bananas?! I ended up not eating the banana because it bothered me so much and I was in a hurry so I just threw it in my bag (not such a good idea, but what can I say? I don't really think things through sometimes). I later pulled the semi-deformed banana out of my bag and grunted at the memory of my vandalized banana. But, I decided after a moment to actually look the verse up - I mean, what could be so awesome that it merited publication on the side of our produce?

I read the verse and I was like... Really God? You're just toooo funny. Doesn't He just love to awe us? To make us stop and wonder what other random things he uses to catch our attention? A BANANA! ... geez.
