What are you doing in this life that is not about you? There is a possibility that your life revolves around your life, your family, your business…..In short, YOU is the constant. I’m writing this to let you know that it shouldn’t always be like that. I learnt that the other day after I had an experience with a street child. In Kenya, where I live, these kids have become so many they are almost a mini country. This is especially in the capital.
One day, I told a very good friend of mine how it breaks my heart to see these kids on these streets, without food or shelter. She looked at me and told me, “then do something about it”. I started on excuses of how I don’t have much. She suggested that with the little I have we can feed a few kids for a day. That’s how I met the most amazing boy on this earth. He’s 13, smiles through his hunger, grateful for the little he gets and even shares it with his friends. Don’t get me wrong. Some of these kids have homes that they ran away from while some are orphans. Before we judge them though, it’s good to understand that this wandering spirit isn’t something they choose and that’s where prayer comes in.
To cut the long story short, my friend and I fed this boy everyday for a total of three weeks. Each day I kept telling him how great God is and he even stared going to church more. He had one wish, to go back to school. I’m a recent graduate, trying to get a job and my friend s one too so we really didn’t have money for his school fees. But guess what? God is faithful and he doesn’t reason like we do. Through only what I believe is a divine connection, we got great children’s home that was willing to take him in and pay fully for his school fees in a great private school. It’s ran by the most selfless man I’ve ever met who has opened his door to 100 street children and he does all this by faith. He depends on donors and I can testify that he’s never lacked.
I’ve never cried tears of joy before like I did when all this happened. That night I can honestly say was the first time I had the most honest thanksgiving moment in my life.Today, even if takes you an hour, do something that isn’t about you and I promise the feeling is better an you could honestly be someone’s miracle today. Remember that when you are helping the helpless, you never have to worry about anything. God provides. I’ve learnt that faith is righteousness and that’s how I choose to live my life. When God answers, it’s great to testify too JJ
Shalom!!!!
