I personally hate being a burden to the
extent that I find it hard to ask or to receive help. But last week’s
experience has taught me that in life we need each other and you won’t always
be the one that offers help.
I was staying with a friend’s family
until I could move out. Initially, it was hard because I had never stayed with
strangers and depend on them for food and shelter. But as I look back, I agree
that:” one cannot give unless they have received.” I now know what it’s like to
be on the receiving end and I have the intense desire to help where I can.
It is my earnest prayer that, if Jesus delays,
my home will be home not only to family but to those that need help.
This experience has also taught me how
to live with others. You can imagine someone who’s used of living with one sibling.
But all in all, I enjoyed my stay and I learnt how to share. This experience
has also taught me that God allows us to meet certain individuals so that we
can be strengthened in our Christian journey. The family I stayed with had an
hour long study and for the first time in my life I really looked forward to
the evening devotion.
I can proudly say that I've gained a family in Cape Town :).And it is my prayer that God revives a spirit of humility, kindness, love and more amongst us Christians because by so doing others will be drawn to Christ.
