Power Bank Status Update Living in a time like this has definitely got its perks. From the use of mobile phones to electronic banking. Everything seems so easy and simple. Only God knows how our people of old managed to survive without all these luxuries we enjoy today. From your room, you can know what all your friends are thinking, doing and even see what they are up to with just a click of a button or as the case is now, a touch of a screen. Why visit a friend when we can chat on WhatsApp? Who needs to be with one friend at a time when I can see 64

what they are all doing at the same time. God bless Instagram and Facebook. And for the bunch of us who are just not satisfied with pictures, Skype provides the almost near ultimate experience with video calling. Hey I said near ultimate, there is the occasional internet malfunctions but hey, I am sure we can live with that. BOY!!! One could say that it’s almost possible to live your entire life in your room and never miss out or anything or be missed. Life in the 21st century definitely rocks. Or almost definitely rocks. If only Facebook could make an account for God that would just about seal it. I would never have to go to church, or endure the never ending lectures from my parents. I could just mail or private message God directly but am sure I might probably be too busy to reply immediately. Hmmm, or I could send Him pictures or what I am up to but then again He sees everything anyway so what is the point. He would probably not even accept my friend request anyway. Let’s face it; what would he want with a friend like me when His Friend’s list would probably include the likes of Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Sarah and Simon Peter and all these other Great Men and Women of Faith that they talk about in Church. Besides, I am not pure enough for Him, we probably have nothing in common, what we would talk about, and I know almost nothing about the bible. He would probably get bored hearing me recite John 3:16 every time we spoke. Let’s face it; God does not need me and I would probably just get in His way. I think it’s safe to just keep things the way they are. Its best for both of us. An occasional church appearance should just about be enough for both of us. I’ll get serious about God when I grow up. The truth is, many of us have found ourselves in this condition before or are presently in this condition. We make way too many excuses for God. He this and He that and I this and I can’t that. The excuses are just our way of making ourselves feel better about the emptiness inside and the insatiable desire we can’t seem to fill up with anything outside. But no matter how many friends you have on Facebook, WhatsApp, Skype or telegram, their messages are not there when u feeling all alone and lost. Their pictures don’t answer the question of your purpose in this life and no matter how close they seem, they will never come close enough to understanding the real you. Ok so you make mistakes occasionally, alright a lot. You are not the most punctual person when it comes to church, and the bible doesn’t seem so interesting to you. You talk too much or too little and don’t like everyone around you. In your opinion all these things disqualify you from God but the truth of the matter is they actually qualify you for Him. God is not looking for perfect people but for willing ones whom He can perfect. He wants just as you are. John 3:16 says that “For God so loved the world (everybody) that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever (that’s you) believes in Him should not perish but Have ever lasting Life.” You see, God loved you before you even knew He existed. In fact He loved you before you even existed. He loved you knowing all you could do wrong. He loved you knowing all you could become. He loved you believing you could love Him back and the truth is, He loves you even now. He sent His Jesus to die and as He hang on the cross with arms stretched as wide from each other, it were as though He was saying ’’I love you this much’’. God is never too busy for you. As a matter of fact He has all the time in the world for you.Do you?Every second with him....IS A STATUS UPDATE. 65
