Follow His steps

I recently heard a story about Mahatma Gandhi; and a young boy and his mother.

The young boy had become addicted to sugary things and the mother was afraid for his health. So she took the boy to Gandhi asking him to talk to her son to break the addiction because she believed the boy will do anything Gandhi said. Gandhi told the woman and her son to leave and come back to see him in two weeks.

Two weeks later, mother and son went back, Gandhi asked to speak with the boy alone, the boy and the mother left and the boy was totally delivered of his addiction. The mother went back to Gandhi and asked him, “what did you say to my son?” Gandhi’s response, “you have not asked the right question, the question you should have asked is, ‘why did you ask us to come back after two weeks?’” He said that was where the key was.

Gandhi explained that at the point the mother and son approached him, he also had a habit he needed to break and he realized his words won’t make any impact on the boy if he didn’t break that habit in his own life first. So in two weeks, he worked on breaking the habit in his own life and then talked with the boy.

Our supreme example is Jesus, there is nothing we go through He hasn’t been through. There is nothing He asks us to do He didn’t do. He is the perfect role model and our essence as Christians is to model our lives after His.

Apostle Paul in 1Cor. 11:1 (Amp) says "Pattern yourselves after me (follow my example), as I imitate (and) follow Christ (the Messiah).

Shalom.

For the God of the universe to have thoughts and purposes for us also means that He'll be at work in us and around us to bring them to pass.

Do you know that God chose you before time? That all things are working together for your good. That when He says all things, that it means the good, the bad and the ugly? That your mistakes are included in "all things"? That your hurts and pain are part of "all things"?

Do you remember He said "when you pass through the waters, I'll be with you; .................... and when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned" Did you notice that it says "when"? Meaning you definitely will pass through the waters and walk through fire.

He will never lay on you a load too heavy for you to carry and He'll never put you in a river you can't cross. So, the next you are in that fix and you are feeling really sad, remember it's just for a season and for a reason.

Cheer up! In its time He makes all things beautiful.

Dunno what title suits this

Hi!

It's been a while and really still don't know what to write today. I only know I'm not in the best of moods. So maybe you could say a prayer for a sister.

Thanks.
