From this short story we have being reading about, we notice that not all the time does life turn out the way we want it to. This little girl had dreams, she had desires where she wanted to have both parents around. She was dreaming like any other normal child.
Unfortunately, life had something different in store. This girl is Me.
I always prayed for my parents to have long life. I wanted what I wanted not what God wanted for them and for me. How was I to know all that I know today? How was I to know responsibility? Above all, how was I to know God?
From then on, my life changed completely. I had to know everything and to do everything. Before I knew that I don't have to do everything because someone will help me. The first thing that I did was to give my life to God- 100%.
You might ask yourself why didn't I do something for a living? The truth is that if did, it was not going to last because there won't be God in it. The Word of God says that 'but seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well' Matthew 6:33.
God became the foundation of all that I did and possessed.
God did for me what a parent could not do for his/her children. He became more than a parent to me. Though I used to pray, go to church, give tithes, my life would have been in misery if I never gave it to God fully.
Whether we have parents or not, alone or not, whoever we are, we just have to give up our will and start putting our whole lives on God hands. When Jesus said "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it." Mark 8:34-35, he knew what He was talking about.
Stay Blessed!
