GOD DESIRES TO COMMUNICATE WITH U coz U ARE HIS👶👫 CHILD.

“Grandma” or “Granddy” are some of the adorable names we use when referring to our grandparents. They say “Old Is Gold” I say “Not All Is Gold.” Anyone could be forgiven for thinking that old age is sweet. The underlying truth is that those who have graciously lived to their full old age can evidently say old age is the most “uncomfortable” stage of life than any other. It’s the stage where eventually all the body organs retire! In advanced old age the elderly tend to be uncomfortable when they sleep or sit, or eat, or walk, &even feel pain when they laugh too much because the heart might suddenly skip bits. They are often nervous when they receive bad news and are stressed when no one pays attention to them. Also they’ll seemingly be stressed when everybody suddenly pays attention to them because they feel reminded that they are soon dying! To be honest that stage is both physically and emotionally uncomfortable for them hence the reason why loneliness &poor hygiene are the very last things any elderly person needs. Before my late grandma passed away two decades now, I had the rare opportunity to spend her last years with her. Having been raised up from a stricter background, things like watching Television or Playing with Stations and all that were a taboo in our family. Once a student my siblings and I lived by one rule; after classes you proceed to the study room. And that rule worked for us! It was those days when I knew I had science assignments that I’d suggest that I want to go do my studying at grandma’s house. My parents would agree immediately at the mention of grandma’s name. My main intention however was to go and watch a soap opera that was called NO ONE BUT YOU. Unfortunately most of the days when I was visiting grandma, she’d not let me enjoy watching my program🙆.This really annoyed me at times because I came to realize that she was of the idea that if I told my parents I was going to visit her then I concentrate on her and not the soap opera. Often I’d get angry with her when she distracted me from watching my program but somehow my anger never bothered her. Grandma would either give me a ripe fruit, or ask me to drink milk with her. When it was time to leave she’d nag me to stay despite the fact that there was a full-time caregiver for her. By then I was young and never really understood why she behaved that way, but with age I have come to understand what was happening with my grandma. She was not in need! I was the one who needed what she had and she was teaching me in silence! PSALM 139: 1-6 paints a picture of David seemingly being UNSETTLED or NOT AT PEACE! One minute he was sitting the next minute he rose up. He’d lay down like he wants to sleep then wake up and start talking! If we draw this #LITERALLY we see a man who is UNSETTLED yet is IN GOD’S PRESENCE! Beloved, taking the symbol of my grandma as GOD, you’d realise we ALWAYS ought to #RELAX when we are in God’s PRESENCE. #BE_STILL know HIM.. When I was spending time with grandma I never realised that all she wanted me to do was to enjoy being with her. Gammy had many grandchildren and even a good caregiver yet I never understood the gig! Everyone had their time with her and those were my specific OPPORTUNE MOMENTS with her! We’re GOD’S children not HIS grandchildren. Our Dad DESIRES TO SPEND TIME WITH HIS CHILDREN one by one! HE DESIRES TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU personally! Sometimes all grandma wanted me to do was to sit next to her until she falls asleep. Strangely, although she hardly spoke much she could tell a day that my mother spank me sending me running to grandma’s house. I don’t remember a single day when I told her I had received a beating. I was always careful to wipe away any leftover tear from my eyes before entering Gammy’s house. Yet Gammy always knew it when there was something wrong with me. And she’d somehow make sure I had forgotten about it. (Psalm 139:23-24.) David understood the importance of setting our HEARTS right with God because that’s WHEN we’ll be able to enjoy being in God’s PRESENCE! WE ARE HIS OWN!
