My dreams

I remember a few years ago when I went home for a holiday . My niece Mirriam was just 5 years old . One day I was left home with Mimi and my young cousin Andrew who was then 9 years old . While they were busy watching cartoons on T.V , I was also busy playing computer games and listening to music. Later Mimi came to me and said " Fa! I am going to the kitchen to get a spoon and freezer to get some yoghurt , watch Andrew please because he likes messing with the T.V!" I laughed so hard , but Mimi came back and stood next to me and put 1 hand on her hip and said " I mean it Falles! "

"I'll help you get the yoghurt from the deep freezer ok? " I said and I stood up to help her . But to my surprise she firmly said " I will do it myself !" Deep inside I knew she was too short to bend down to reach the deep freezer to get it , but since she insisted I watched her go to the kitchen and got a spoon .She took a stool and moved it closer to the deep freezer and stood on the stool and bent over to get the yoghurt , to my predictions she was too short to reach it . "Fa! Help me get it please !" all that independence Mimi had was gone and she depended on me to get her what she wanted .

I came to realise that as a christian sometimes I act like my niece . Like most of the Christians We sometimes have that spirit of independence in us . we too want to " Do it my self" when it comes to growing in Jesus and Serving HIM . We sometimes think we can do anything without God taking part in our actions , but the fact is that we really do . We plan for the future on what we shall do and how we do it and sometimes we forget to put God first in it . We tend to forget that what God has planned nobody can go against it .We also forget that we were born with distorted thoughts, our thoughts and actions are corrupt .We need Gods Guidance to be with us in everything we do , In our plans and our actions.We need to depend on God in our every action but the question in our minds should be :Can God depend on us ??
