I sing because I’m happy

I sing because I’m free

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me…

Irene was someone who knew to worry about everything. She had no family. They were involved in a ghastly motor accident and she was the only survivor. So, she had a ‘justifiable’ reason to be worried and always gloomy. One day, she was walking through a garden of Lilies and wildflowers. She was so lost in thought that she didn’t realize when someone started walking by her side.

‘Hi there!’, he said but she was far gone in the realm of worry to hear him. He repeated himself but this time, with a calm touch. She jolted and with a frown on her face and fear in her voice, she replied. With a voice that stilled the wave of the seas, he asked what was bothering her. No surprise, she narrated her life story to him. She talked about how she had lost her family and how hopeless she was. She also mentioned how nothing ever seemed to go well not leaving out the fact that she was alone in the world.

When she was done, he said, ‘Look around you! See the lilies and wildflowers in all their beauty! Have you seen anything quite like them? ‘ She looked around, taking in the beautiful scenery and was amazed. It wasn’t for long though because she started worrying about how this all concerned her.

He noticed but continued, ‘The ten best dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. Look at the birds, free, bright and careless in GOD’ s care but you count more to GOD than them!’

Sometimes, we get carried away by problems and issues that we totally forget about GOD. You don’t have to feel bad about it, it happens to the best of us. I don’t know about you, but every time I was worried or bothered about something, it never brought about a positive effect. It made me even more tensed up and made me lose my peace.

In essence, I’m saying that being worried and anxious about a particular issue doesn’t solve anything, it only aggravates it.

But you don’t have to stay that way. GOD cares about every little detail of your life.

So just release every heavy burden in your heart to GOD right now. You can say these words:

GOD, I know you care for me and I’m so thankful. I’m sorry for letting my problems make me blind to the fact that YOU see me. I give them all to you. Thank you for your care once again.

It’s that simple…

I learnt and am still learning (thanks to the Holy Spirit) that every time a worrisome thought pops up in my head, I should release it to my Father in prayer immediately.

Have you ever been so blinded by your problems that you didn’t see GOD? Will you like to share with us? If yes, you can drop your story in the comment section or better still, send an email to me.

I hope you were inspired. If you were, please share with that person on your mind right now, they just might need this. Don’t forget to drop your comments as I always love to hear from you.

Sometimes, we get carried away by problems and issues that we totally forget about GOD. You don’t have to feel bad about it, it happens to the best of us.
