T.T. 63. God v.
Santa Claus.
God is a good and generous God who
wants the very best for us. However, it is important to teach children that He
is NOT like a Santa Claus.
Some people seem to think that God
is like a Santa Claus. They only seem to talk to Him when they want something
from Him. Their prayers are usually selfish, such as “Give me.” “Help me.” Give
my mum this.” “Help my dad do that.”
Although there is a place for such
prayers, we need to remember that God does not exist to serve us. Rather, we
exist to serve Him.
The best type of prayers are when we
place God at the centre of them, such as :-
“Here I am. How can I serve You
today?”
“How can I serve you more
effectively?”
“How can I show your love to
others?”
“Help me to know you
better.”
“Help me to love you
more.”
Conclusion.
If our attitude is right and our
greatest desire is to please God, He will bless us and take care of all our
needs.
