7 July 2014; Mat 9

I had a strange dream. In that dream I was dancing with a young girl, but I knew that nothing "good" will come out of the relationship - because I am blessed with a happy family of 3 children and a lovely wife. That which I once desired when I was young has now came to fulfillment. I longed for a family that is be able to live to old age with my wife. I longed to have a son and God gave 2 plus a beautiful daughter.

The dream also made me realised that I am not young any more. There are dreams that were fulfilled, but still more not yet and probably not. Are those not fulfilled ok with me and can I live with regret for their un-fulfillment?

In Mat 9, there was a woman with the issue of blood, a paralytic and 2 blind men. They had been waiting as outcast and hoping for healing. If Jesus did not pass and cross paths with them, they probably not be able to travel to get themselves healed.

What is then that I want and what is that I need?

I need Jesus - for without Him, I will have nothing but of the world requirements to prove myself in status and in wealth.

I want a legacy for my family - but now I cannot and exactly articulate what are these legacies.

I will want my children to fear God - to know what is right and wrong in the values of God and the world. It will be a conscience and the knowledge of God and the prompting of the Holy spirit that they will be able to hear and discern the right to do and say. It is about knowing Jesus. How then my children can know Jesus? Disciple them through leading by examples - time spend with God and let every action and speech about a relationship with God. Let Jesus be real and be part of our everyday lives.
