“Mngu wan u Aondo”
It’s what my mum would say, everytime. It got pretty annoying at some point. It means ‘I am a child of God’.
She often said this when she got wind of or caught my siblings and I doing something wrong or when she was blessed with something she had been hoping for.
I used to feel a bit jealous; why will God pick her out specially and not all of us.
Lately, I have been hearing myself say those words so much that I began to realise why my mum kept saying them. He didn’t pick her specially, she only realised that she was special.
We are all special, the problem is we rarely realise this.
When God keeps showing up for you in the little things that you thought were of no concern to Him… You can’t help but declare; Mngu wan u Aondo.
Just a few days ago I caught myself singing 🎶 “Yes Jesus loves me, for the Bible tells me so”… But then I decided to change the lyrics.
I know Jesus loves me, not only because the Bible tells me so… It has gone way past that.
I know Jesus loves me because He tells me Himself everyday; from the rising of the sun, when He wakes me up, to my going out and coming in… In the way He shows up for me in EVERYTHING I face.
Mngu wan u Aondo… Jesus loves me
