I Wish~

Many of us would find it incredibly convenient to have a magic genie, granting us 3 wishes. Then we could have had it all..... rolling in the deep...... But seriously. Imagine what you could do with 3 wishes...

Those who are business-minded will wish for even more wishes, though I'm quite sure genies are not that simple-minded, they will sure attach some conditionalities to the 3 wishes in the first place. Those who are selfless will wish for world peace. Those who are poor will wish for more money. Those lonely, companion. Those homeless, family.

Wouldn't a genie make everything better? But we all know that genies don't exist. However, we do know that God exists!!! And isn't that better news?

Genies only give us 3 wishes. God gives us unlimited opportunities to pray. Genies will grant whatever we wish. God grants us whatever is best for us. Genies are just fictional magical beings. God is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent. Need I say more?

James 5:16 states that "The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results." 1 John 5:14 - "We can be confident that He will listen to us whenever we ask Him for anything that is in line with His will."

So next time you mention "I wish.....", change it to "I pray...." instead. Trust me, it works so much better, when you place and commit everything to God's hands.
