The Drawing and the Loaf of Bread

On Thursday Tori was telling me about her latest drawing, ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“Mummy I didn’t know how to draw it, I just started and it came out beautifully. How did I know it?” ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I took a loaf of bread cut a piece out and handed it to her, pointed at the piece of bread in her hand⁣⁣ and said:⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“Is that still bread? Is it still sweet with the same colour? If you cover this bread and put it in the fridge, will it change? ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
She shook her head wondering what I was talking about.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Do you think God is creative, wise, powerful and many other things?” ⁣
⁣
“Yes,” she answered. ⁣
⁣
“Okay, God made you like himself(Let us make man in our image and likeness), like the way I cut out the bread, everything that is in God came to you… The wisdom, strength, creativity e.t.c.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“Do you have any feeling that tells you, you are a Nigerian?” She shook her head.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“You don’t feel it, so where are you from🤷🏼‍♀️?” She laughed at my question and replied, “Nigeria!” ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“If the bread says, I don’t feel like a bread will that stop it from being a bread? No! ⁣
You are creative like God, that is how you were able to draw your picture… you already have it” ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
she is still thinking about it and I am still reminding her😁⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Are you the image and likeness of God?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Imagine you make a pot of soup, everyone is complimenting it, but when you dished out for your husband, he looks at it and says, ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“you didn’t give me the part with salt, please can you give me some salt from the soup?” ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
If that is impossible, then it is also impossible for God to make any of us in his image and likeness and then leave some things from him behind. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Are you waiting to feel like it?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Do you think God left some parts of himself behind when he was making you in his image and likeness? ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
If you didn’t know you left money in your pocket or bag, will it still be yours the day you find it? ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
The fact you don’t know what God has deposited in you does not mean you don’t have it…⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It’s there and it’s yours, whether you know it or not.⁣⁣⁣

Your first assignment… Who is your Daddy, does He have sense?
