SIN OF ASSUMPTION

A Woman Owned A Dog Who Was Very Faithful To The Family. She Could Trust. The Dog To The Hilt, That She Felt Confident To Leave Her Baby In His Care While Going Out To Attend Her Daily Matters. On Her Return, She Always Found The Child Asleep In His Crib With The Dog Watching Over Him.
One Fine Day, As Usual, The Woman Left The Baby In The Care Of Her Faithful Dog To Go Out On Her Errands. On Her Return, She Discovered A Rather Nasty Scene.
There Was A Total Mess Around, The Baby’s Crib Was Overturned, His Nappies And Clothes Torn To Shreds And Blood Stains All Over The Nursery Room Where She Had Left The Child In Her Dog’s Care. Shocked, The Woman Wailed As She Began Her Search For The Baby.
Hearing Her Wails, Her Faithful Dog Emerged From Under The Bed. It Was Covered With Blood All Over, Licking His Mouth As If It Had Just Finished A Delicious Meal.
The Woman Went Berserk And Assumed The Worst. Thinking That The Dog Had Devoured Her Baby, She Grabbed A Metal Pipe And Lashed The Dog To It’s Death. Thereafter, She Continued Her Search For The Remains Of Her Child. Now She Beheld Another Scene Unfolding Ahead..
Close To The Bed Was Her Precious Baby Lying On The Bare Floor, Unhurt And Safe. As She Stooped Down To Grab Her Child, She Noticed The Caracas Of A Snake Torn To Pieces In What Must Have Been A Fierce Battle Between It And Her Faithful Dog, Which Was Now Lying Dead In The Middle Of The Nursery.
Finally The Reality Dawned On Her And She Could Visualize What Took Place During Her Absence. The Dog Had Fought The Ravenous Snake To Protect Her Baby.
It Was Too Late Now For Regrets. In Her Impatience And Anger, She Had Killed Her Faithful Dog.
How Many Times Have We Questioned Other People’s Actions, Believing We Could Do Better In Their Shoes. This Is Called ‘Sin Of Assumption’´. Presuming Things Our Way Without Caring To Unearth The Reality.
Think Gravely, Take Time To Get To The Whole Truth Before Reacting. Do Remember, You Cannot Truly Understand Another’s Pain Unless You Yourself Experience It.
That Is The Reason That God In All His Wisdom Command’s Us, “Thou Shall Not Judge”. Because God Alone Is Qualified Enough To Hold That Position
