I Still need HIM my Father...

This Sunday was an interesting one...

I started of my day without God, without Jesus but centered thinking on other distracting things in my life. Just as I was thinking about how I didn't have anything on mind to do, I had brothers and sisters to look out for for the meeting. My absent mindedness did not let me see today clearly as well as my dad needed help later on.

After spending time with God in prayer with my brother and my dad, I felt that God had planned a family unity which all of us longed for but weren't able to have for a while. In spite of our disorganisation, He planned something I didn't anticipate to be something I needed all those times, It made me realise how my family is so important at times when I have things in my mind I need to do. As well as not to take my family for granted.

I remembered reading Colossians about the importance of family...

¹⁸Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

¹⁹Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

²⁰Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

²¹Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.

²²Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. ²³Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, ²⁴since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. ²⁵Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. (Colossians 3)

I'm in need of Him my Father, His ways and use it with my gift to love and also intercede with prayer to Him more so that I could honour my family and even the people around me.
