Dividends Of Proximity- Who Are You Close To?

We once lived in an apartment where the neighbour next door to us is a broadcaster. She read news at the state’s Television, as well as anchored programs and events, off and on TV. My mum on the other hand happened to be a medical doctor. She most likely would never have thought of being on a TV show, most likely because of her time, and interest at the time. But then, our neighbour being a journalist as it were, invited my mum to a segment on her show where they talked about health and surrounding issues.

Most likely if we never lived in that house, such offer would never have come for my mum, for she was only a regular doctor doing her thing, besides some other religious activities she was involved in. But then, the fact that she lived in the vicinity of someone who worked back then on TV made her have access to TV in that sense.

We are humans. And as humans, we are all God’s kids (as far as creation is concerned). There are some natural favour that flows from being God’s children, especially for the fact that He is our Maker, and He crafted each and every one of us with His very Hands. However, there are other favours that would flow towards us because we happen to be in a close relationship with Him; favours that most likely wouldn’t have come our way had we stayed far.

As a result, I would love to encourage us to stay close to our Maker. Not only for floods of favour, but as well for intimacy. The intimacy of having a conscious father-daughter relationship (or Father-son as the case may be). The love flows better, and we feel it more closely when we are in a close proximity with the Father, unlike when we are far. And besides, for every problem we come across in life, there would be a straightforward relief and comfort because we know that through the love of the Father whom we know so intimately, all would be well.

Jesus being the only way to the Father, inviting Him into our lives makes the connection possible and so real. So just incase you are not sure you have Jesus (who is no doubt the connecting link- the only one at that), it would be nice to say this sentence: Dear Heavenly Father, I crown You the Lord of my life. Come into my heart Jesus, and teach me all your ways, in Jesus name- Amen - There you go! (If already you’ve not made God a part of your life). And if you already have, it might be time to take the plunge and go a little deeper, till all you hear are giggles, and all you see, is peace.

Till I come your way next week, keep being so loving, and no doubt, say me well to our Father in Heaven, cos He is my Father too!
