For Who?

Dear Diary

So, on Sunday while zubaa'n at our church's parking lot late afternoon, I picked a convo with a certain dude- I was wondering why he was still lingering around. Fast forward, he mentioned that he hadn't left because he was waiting for someone to deliver his car's insurance certificate. Okay, ujuaji yangu ikaniambia nimpe wise advise, "But hakuna traffic police leo Sunday. Actually, unaweza ishia! #SeeMyLife! With a smirk at me he said, "It's not even about the police. What if nichote msee au nigongwe?" Did I even say anything more? Actually,why do we have insurance certificates in our cars? Why do we wear safety belts? Why do we panda mathree in excess? Is it for the mean traffic police officers? Well, that got me thinking, many times I have worn my seatbelt for fear of the police and now I advised my friend to drive without the insurance because no traffic police on Sundays! Who does that?

I had a small meeting with myself and examined my intentions/motives. I realized there's a lot I do/don't do just because no one is watching me and/or I won't be caught. I thought louder, I shouldn't do something for fear of man but for my own safety, for the good of others, but above all else for God's glory. Colossians 3:17 says, "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it ALL in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

What you do or don't do, who is it for?
