βYouβll do the assignment abi?β Baby asked, searching my eyes while hoping I donβt say no.
Wait, who even says no to baby? The love of everybodyβs life.
He dumped the pile of books on my laps and zoomed off. Baby. Iβd do anything for him. I half dragged and half carried the books to my mini flat. A flat Iβve been sharing with Mimi for two years.
I could already picture myself writing and finishing Babyβs assignment. Iβd do it the way I wonβt even do mine. Iβd do it better.
I pushed the door of the flat open and dumped the books on the closest chair. I glanced at Mimi, she was really busy with something. She gave me a warm smile and continued.
I walked over to her table, and she answered before I even asked, βIs it not that your Baby? Baby gave me this assignment to do and I donβt even think Iβm gonna do it. I donβt know what to do with all these books.β
βWhich Baby?β I asked.
She looked at me like I was crazy. I had just one Baby.
I peered into the books. Same assignment. Same Books. Same handwriting. Same everything.
I was stunned.
Baby didnβt believe Iβd actually do the assignment, he already asked someone else. Baby doesnβt trust me.
My phone rang.
Alice. I answered.
βHey?β
βYes?β I asked, wondering what she wanted.
βPlease help me tell your Baby that I couldnβt get the assignment done. Iβm very busy at the moment. Maybe next time.β
The line went dead.
Nonsense. A third person. Who am I anyway if he doesnβt trust me? Bah! I arranged his books, with the assignment undone. I also arranged the books he gave to Mimi, and placed them by the door.
I would have actually done the assignment, even though I was so sure Mimi and Alice would never do it. He knows too. Yet he couldnβt trust me. He couldnβt trust just me.
Baby.
Everyoneβs Baby.
What most people do is, they give God their cares, their worries and their struggles and you know the silly thing they do? They take the anxieties back. Yes, they take it back before they even leave Godβs presence. Do you know how? They still dwell on those issues theyβve cast on God. They still tell people about those issues. They still walk about feeling heavy with those issues and problems. They still worry about everything theyβve given to God.
You gave nothing to Him, if you canβt even prove to yourself that Someone out there, someone youβve never seen is staying awake on your matter!
You canβt worry about what youβve already surrendered to God.
You canβt stay all night worrying and thinking about what you claim youβve surrendered to God. You gave him nothing, man! And even if you even surrendered anything to him, you collected it back from him because you donβt believe he could actually worry for you. You donβt believe He could make it work faster than you can make it work or have it fixed. So, you just collect it back and try other places.
When you give God anything, just leave it there and walk free!
Itβs just like you telling God, βI believe you, man, but you see, this stuff Iβm trusting you with, I donβt see you doing it. Maybe itβs too much for you to handle, just the way it was for me. I just have to continue with my worries and thinking. Maybe something, anything would come out of it.β
Ah, ignorance.
This is what destroys us. What can worry do for you, itβs just like getting water from a well when there is a tap close by.
Ignorance.
Anybody who has cast his or her issues on God doesnβt have it anymore. Thatβs faith, darling! You already believe nothing weighs you down anymore. What do you think youβre doing worrying about what youβve already cast at Godβs feet. Do you really think the creator of the whole world is incompetent? Or you think God, as big as He is needs an assistant worrier? No, come on! Donβt be someone who keeps giving your anxieties to him and taking it back. Just give it to Him, and let it go.
I tell you again, cast your cares on God and walk free!
You trust God, isnβt that enough? What are you worried about?
Worry is sin.
Yes, worry is unbelief.
Worry is lack of faith.
And Godβs Word says anything that is not of faith is sin. (Romans 14:23)
Are you making conscious effort of letting things go when youβve surrendered them to God, how do they work out?
