A primary school teacher asked her pupils to write an essay on “A wish you want from God.” At the end of the day, the teacher collected all the essays given by her pupils. She took them to her house, sat down and started marking. While marking the essays, she saw a strange essay written by one of her pupils. That essay made her to cry! The title of that essay was: “Oh God, Make me a Television. I want to live like the TV in my house.” “In my house, the TV is very valuable. All of my family members sit around it. They are very interested in it. When the TV is talking, my parents listen to it very happily. They don’t shout at the TV. They don’t quarrel with the TV. They don’t slap the TV. So I want to become a TV. The TV is the centre of attraction in my house. I want to receive the same special care that the TV receives from my parents. Even when it is not working, the TV has a lot of value. When my dad and mom come home, they immediately sit in front of the TV, switch it on and spend hours watching it. The TV is stealing the time of my dad and my mom. If I become a TV, then they will spend their time with me. While watching the TV, my parents laugh a lot and they smile many times. But I want my parents to laugh and smile with me also. So please God make me a TV. And last but not the least, if I become a TV, surely I can make my parents happy and entertain them. Lord, I won’t ask You for anything more. I just want to live like a TV. Please turn me into a TV.” The husband of the school teacher said: “My God, poor kid. He feels lonely. He does not receive enough love and care from his parents. His parents are horrible.” The eyes of the primary school teacher filled with tears. She looked at her husband and said, “Our son wrote this essay.” Wow! My God! Wow! This ODM vision is more than 25 years old but this is one of the most touchng writeups I have been led to see and write! May our children never desire to be WhatsApp, IPhones, Android Phones, or TV. May they not be lonely and feel forgotten due to life’s battles that we are fighting! May you touch them daily through prayers! May you send them a Bible text and an ODM page daily! May our children not commit suicide or live in secret ACUTE DEPRESSION! Use today’s scripture and today’s devotional to reach out to a little child or a grown up child (ADULT). There is a child in everyone you meet as you go out daily! Let God use you to motivate a soul!
