Be Grateful for the little you have.


Be Grateful for the little you have.

By Teboho Masakala (c)






We live in times were people are ungrateful and full of complains all the time. The times were  people do not appreciate the little they have. We want more and when we do get more we seek even more!
Learn to appreciate the little you have. You may have a single pair of shoes, love them, take good care of them and always appreciate them because the is someone in Asia or Brazil who has none, who would kill to have the very same pair of shoes you want to get rid off because you are tired of being seen wearing the same shoes every day. Know that the is a kid somewhere in the world who walk barefooted to school.


While you cry for branded shoes, clothes and want to “Fit in with the crowd” know that someone out there  wishes to have what you have. Someone out there wishes their parents could buy them those shoes or clothes you want to throw away because  you are complaining that they are not branded or doesn’t suit your style.


Appreciate and love your parents, some people don’t know the face of their parents except for the photo memories  they are left with if they are lucky as some don’t know how their mothers looked like! Tell your parents how much you love them because they won’t be around forever . Show them you love them while they are still alive than waiting for them to be six feet under to buy them expensive coffin and tombstones. That’s not love, you can’t show love to dead people, they don’t know it, but the living knows how it is to be loved.


Stop complaining about eating certain type of food everyday and forcefully demanding   variety. Look at the street kids and those in orphanages, they would love to eat have what you complaining about. They would do anything just to taste what you called irritating, boring or dull. Learn to appreciate it.

Appreciate life, don’t live your life on the fast lane, yes you only live once but don’t ruin your life or drink yourself to stupor just to fit in. Life is a gift from God that needs to be appreciated. It is a gift that comes only once and you don’t want to live with regrets on how you wasted your life as a young person.

Look around you, your neighbours, friends and those who are less fortunate. See how blessed you are to have what you have. It is not about having money nor does it bring happiness. No, being content with what you have will make God bless you even more because of you appreciating what he gave you. If you can be faithful with the little you have, surely God can trust you with mammoth things.
Appreciate the little you have, don’t take it for granted or you will regret later in your life.

Have an intimate relationship with God


Have an intimate relationship with God

By Teboho Masakala (C)





The is nothing more joyful, exciting and moving like having a personal relationship with God, experiencing him on a personal level and knowing that you can pour your heart to him.  Some people may prefer to have personal relationships with their spouses or parents but choosing to have an intimate personal relationship with God is the best ever.

When you are intimate with God, you can hear him, feel him and can run to him whenever the odds are against you. He can be the first point of contact when you want to talk. Many people know about God but only few have a personal relationship with him. Many want blessings, cars, financial breakthrough or whatever they can get from God but few wants to experience him on a personal level and get to know him more and more as a true living Father, Mightier than ever.


When you have a relationship with God, he comes in your heart and you develop a strong bond with him. So much that you come to realize that he is the father you have always wanted, a father more protecting and loving than the earthly ones. You will never feel sorry in your heart or see misfortune in your life when you have a strong intimate relationship with God.



Our Father doesn’t want more from us, he just  want us to give our hearts to him. He wants all of us to see heaven and be with him and how great it is to start now to experience him on a personal level!!. Asking for blessings from God is not bad nor wrong but for once, just put that aside and tell him that you want to know him, experience him, feel him and see him in a way you have never imagined.

Jesus had a strong relationship with our Father and we too should strive to be like Jesus and copy the strong relationship he had with his Father. You will never worry when God is in control, you will sleep like a baby knowing that he is in control. Knowing that your life is in his hands. Have a personal relationship with God, you will never regret your decision. It is the best ever to make.
