Birthday Gift for Beging

Do you guys remember Beging? She’s my sister. She is currently studying in ICCT College. I and Beging are best of friends. We share problems, secrets and we were partners in crime (that was before we became Christians; now we go to church together regularly).

 

I love the fact that she listens to me and she listens to God’s word every Sunday. Most of the things that I was telling my sister are indeed hard to accept, but she tries her very best. “Hupotasso” is one of the hardest lessons for her, I guess, because it’s very hard for me too --- yet we’re both trying our best.

 

Moving on, before Christmas, I kept praying for God to give me the ability to buy Beging a router. She needs it for her study. In fact, that prayer is written in my prayer notebook multiple times. 

 

Jesus really is a faithful God and He will never leave me hanging with no answer. I was not worried when I pray for something lately. I cling to God's promise that as His child, I can ask for anything in Jesus name, and it’ll be answered --- if it pleases Him ofcourse. And yeah, with Lester’s help, I was able to give Beging a router. 

 

I know that router isn’t enough. I want to give Beging something that will motivate her to study hard., plus the fact that she’s graduating this year. I’ve always wanted to buy her laptop or tablet, even the cheapest one would be fine. She needs it because her computer crashed, and Ato’s computer was no longer working as well. I couldn’t afford to buy her nice laptop, nor an iPad --- so you know what I did? I prayed. 

 

All of my prayers have answers --- mostly are YES, some are NO, and some are LATER. God has always been transparent to me. He tells me why NO and why LATER. Though I can’t expect everything to be revealed instantly. God is so funny at times, that would make me say, “Ikaw talaga Lord, pinakaba mo ko.” 

 

Anyway, I got my 13mo pay, got my Dec 15 nontaxable salary, and I got Jesus. I didn’t care whether I wouldn’t have money left, I knew that God will provide --- He proved that to me hundred times. I bought Beging her tablet, as my birthday gift for my lovable sister.

 

It may not be expensive, but it came from my heart; my heart which is guided by God.

 

When we pray, sometimes we think that God isn’t listening to us, or God isn’t giving us what we prayed for, or all other selfish things that people may think. Our knowledge is very narrow, we want what we think is good, but God KNOWS what is BEST FOR US. We tend to instruct God on what to do and when. Don’t. If we can’t understand God’s plan, TRUST HIS HEART. Pray, and wait, and believe that God is LOVE.

 

Jesus does work in miraculous ways, and most of the times, He gives us what we need even before we pray for it. I love my sister, and only God knows how much.
