Proud Tati
Everyone that knows me has the knowledge of how I praises the Lord for the life of my little niece, Amithi. And as the days gone by not being with her, I thank God that He also blessed us a wonderful sister-in-law, Ate Maeh, who always shares us every milestone of our little girl.
Yesterday she sent us a video of Amithi playing an application for kids on her iPad - that kid has grown watching and tapping real hard the gadget. I just hope she won't grow up spending her playtime on iPad like Tati (I grew up playing alone with playstation and gameboy, so I think that sums up my personality todayintovert probs haha!). Day by day she discovered new learnings and I'm amazed how she managed to pick up things so easily when her Tati needs a lot of effort to learn new things at this age haha!
I keep on playing her videos every night. And then earlier while I re-watched some of her videos, I told myself I should teach her something as well. I want to contribute a lot in her life. Then it brought me back to the thought of wanting to teach her sing and dance (maybe I'll leave this part to Ate Maeh, I cannot dance) "Jesus Loves The Little Children" and "I Have Decided To Follow Jesus" before.
So I ended up crying while watching christian children rhymes on Youtube. Seriously, I cried with the simple lyrics of the song!!! I remember last year during christmas worship service, I literally cried singing "Joy To The World". As in iyak ng joyful heart! Yung tipong para akong nasa worship night during retreats! That's the first time I appreciated the song haha. Every words from the lyrics says all the things God has done for us na lagi ko lang kinananta as if I was just singing a pop song from Taylor Swift! So back to the children songs, I felt the same way earlier. That Jesus loves every children of the world including Amithi and that made my heart so greatful! Amithi is precious in my sight but even most precious in His sight.
I am a proud Tati to this kid and I never had a moment looking at her without smiling. I remember Ate Tina asked us before during our dgroup "How do you think Jesus' face when He looks at you?". I didn't know what to answer that time, maybe He's frowning because I didn't let my sister use the car again or maybe He's shaking His head because I keep on asking gor forgiveness on my favorite sins over and over again. I can confidently answer her question now: Jesus is smiling when He looks at me regardless of all my shortcomings! And He assured me that through my niece. That regardless of what she will do wrong in the future, I will never stop looking at her without a smile on my face and that I know is for sure, Jesus will never frown at me! I may frown at Amithi someday just as how I disappoint Jesus day by day, but He's love is different from my love for my niece. He has the perfect love! We may dissappoint Him, but He will never take off that smile on His face when He looks at you because His unconditional love for you is more greater than your shortcomings.
Jesus let us feel His love through other people and that made me love Him even more. I pray that I may also give the same impact to othrr people like how God uses Amithi for me to love Him more. This made me realized that God can still use you the least you only thought you can offer or even without you knowing it. God uses a now 15 month old baby to reveal more His love and goodness to me without my niece knowing it. And when you happen to read this in the future, Amithitay, "You'rw doing a good job and you can serve Him even more because He already used you from the first day of your life without any of your efforts. Your identity is in Christ so be joyful to be your best self for His glory and enjoy serving God. PS: I love you and ililibre kita ng shopping today when you read this! Send me a screenshot! Hahaha".
I hope that everyone could experience the love Jesus is offering! He keeps on calling you, please answer and I assure you the true life worth living on earth! 😊
IN ALL THINGS,
GOD SHOULD ALWAYS BE GLORIFIED!
