Ever been a driver behind the wheels picking up your passengers along the way? Imagine you have four passengers and you pull up at the first one and waited for five minutes. You continued driving and picked up the second one, taking five minutes as well. The third one took a while more to get ready with 10 minutes and the fourth one took up another 5 minutes. Before you know it, you end up spending a good 25 minutes waiting.
Thing is, as passengers, you might not even see or know that unless you are placed in the drivers shoes. What difference can a few minutes make rite?
The unseen side of things - many a times we forget that drivers have taken the initiative to come to your doorstep and pick ya up. It's not like they have to, but they chose to. On their own expense with their petrol meter decreasing along the way, they are the ones doing you a favour even if it doesn't feel like it. Knowing how much they've done, it wouldn't be at all too much for you to put in the lil effort to be ready on time rite?
Now why in the world did I write this here?
Cos it reflects our Christian life.
Whoaa?!?
Yes it does.
Many a times. We do things in a perspective that "God, I'm doing this, this, this and this for you." So much so that it almost seems like we are doing God a favour by doing so.
It is however, the complete opposite. Just like the driver, God has done us a favour by dying for our sins whether or not that we as passengers acknowledge it or not. It's not like He had to, He chose to.
Therefore, being a follower of Christ, we need to begin at this place of humilty, where we realize that we are not the ones doing God a favour. He has done us a favour and it is in turn our joy and privilege to serve Him.
"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."Colossians 3:17Signin off: Thank U for showing me and putting things into perspective, teach me more!
