God's Glory

Dear Glory,
You turn four today!
Being your mummy has been an awesome journey, and I'm constantly reminded that you belong to God. I'm thrilled and awed by how the Holy Spirit is taking you on your very own spiritual journey, how He has guided you to have such a sweet love for Jesus, how you have your own convictions.
Just a couple of nights ago, we brought you to attend the wake of your grand-uncle. You were visibly indignant that people were praying to "other gods", and even more distraught that yeye and nainai were too. You wanted to walk over to where they were, to ask them not to participate in the rituals, to tell them to believe in Jesus. But I told you that it wasn't a good time to do it.
You listened to my explanations, then assured me that you wouldn't say a thing, and said that you only wanted to stand with yeye and nai nai. I gave you permission, partly because i trusted you to keep your word, and partly because i had a nagging sense that you were on a mission, and i didn't want to be guilty of preventing it, or of quenching the Spirit's work in you.
Having obtained the go-ahead from mummy, you quickly went to yeye, tugged at his hand, and insistently shook your head at him, your big, expressive eyes saying all the words your mouth was forbidden to speak. When I pulled you back a while later,I suggested that we'd pray for them when we got home. But you insisted on praying for them there and then. So we did. After that, you looked at them chanting, and wistfully said, "Jesus is saying to yeye and nainai, to trust in Jesus only."

Did you know, when you were born, Daddy had a feeling that you would be the one who brings yeye and nainai to Christ? I thought at that time that it was just daddy's deep desire projected as a sensing, but now, I'm realising that there's something to it!
I am so awed by your spiritual sensitivity and conviction at your tender age. I wonder what God has planned for you... You obviously have a tender and loving heart towards God, you have a desire to please him- you often talk about wanting to share your toys and food with Jesus ( and you understand that we do that by sharing, especially with the poor and weak) I think you have a Lover's heart. You love praying, you have the most touching childlike faith. You have convictions that are so earnest that even your grandparents respect your beliefs. Eeeeps... Being your mummy is such a sacred and exciting calling!
Remember, darling, your prayer that your heart will "fully be for Jesus". Grow to be a handmaiden of the Lord, aware of His preference, his desires. Wait on Him, listen to Him, stay close to Him. May your heart be always tender, trusting, passionate and yielded to our Jesus. There really is no greater honor!
I am thankful for you, you amazing, gorgeous, loving, funny, obedient, wise little kitten!
Love,
Mummy
