When I read the request of most people in my DM, I smile. In Nigeria anyone not bothering other people with their personal trouble appears rich and problem free. This is far from the truth. There are real stories & tears even, buried beneath the smile & ecclesiastical altruism😒
Imagine yourself in an evil forest where seemingly ripe fruits are bidding you to pluck them to eat. You are famished, thirsty and worn but also you know that eating any of these fruits bring instant death and eternal damnation. No doubt the journey is far but Grace is sufficient
Just in case you don’t get the picture still...Grace is all you have when you get up to pee at 30k feet only to realize your pilots have been knocked out cold. The plane is just gliding & impact is certain but the oblivious passengers are still merry, ordering drinks with glee.
There are many places you may think you fit in but you most definitely do not belong there. No matter how much you are accepted, you will not find fulfillment in that company and it will always end badly. Sometimes you just can’t explain it but Grace will always prompt you.
When we face unpleasant situations, we are tempted to believe that God dozed off for a bit but what’s the value of light without darkness? What is a butterfly without the struggle through the cocoon? What/who is a hero without crisis? The situation always birth something greater.
I thank God for those He sends my way. I also appreciate those whose hearts skip a beat when they hear my name. Only the wicked runneth when no one pursueth. It’s not me that U fear but He that is within me, greater than the principalities & powers that rules out there.
Those who relentlessly seek your downfall will only taste their own blood for He watches over you and lives in you. While they hate, you soar far above the imagination of men and light up your world in preparation for His Kingdom where Earth will be like Heaven.
