DO NOT ASSUME

Do not assume that your friend knows it all when she doesn’t. I will share my experience with you. There was a time my friend came to me for some explanations, I was very tired. Trust me. I taught her the ones I could and left just one topic, I just assumed she should know it because it was the simplest of all the topics. Just after some few minutes she left, I slept off.On getting to the exam hall the following morning, No 1 compulsory question in the theory part was the one I didn’t explain to her. I felt really bad. I felt like I should go and teach her because it was 20 marks but it was too late. After the exams, I immediately went to her and asked her how the exam went, her eyes were sore, she already cried secretly. I was bittered. I apologized to her but was still feeling bad. I went on my kneels to God before I was relieved. But she passed the course with a C.... you know what I mean?? A scale through C. Hummm!!!Do not assume that that your friend is spiritually sound. She might be speaking in tongues, casting demons, healing the sick and delivering the captives. She might be such a nice and cool friend but you don’t know what she’s going through. She might be struggling with God, trying to get herself back on her feet with God.Do not assume your parents are physically strong. They might not have a choice than to take good care of you. Parents pretend to be OK, in as much as they see their children feeling very much OK. Try to find out things. Take notice of dull moments. Help find solutions to them if necessary or preferably PRAY.Do not assume he/she loves you. He/she might just want to while away time. Maybe the person needs attention or more love. You were there on time and that’s why he/she loves you. Do not throw away the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE that Christ has for US. He has paid it all.Do not assume that close relative doesn’t need prayers. Maybe because he/she is booming. Hummmm!!! The devil might be at work somewhere because he doesn’t rest. He is always going about, seeking whom he may devour. Pray for your loved ones. Do not assume they are very fine. Try intercessory prayers. Jesus does that too.My friends, I beg of you. Do not assume/presume. Be sure of before concluding. GOD BLESS YOU.
