A MESSAGE FOR YOU

OUR JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE
On highway traffic we travel;
So many people traveling on separate tracks.
Yet it is not a racing competition.
On this road are littered with fellow travelers some are stranded, they need one form of help or the other.
Infact every traveler on this road require assistance from a fellow traveler.
The main course of this journey is not who got to the final destination first;
but with what virtue of honour did you arrive the destination.
Did you arrive empty; you may be sent back
Did you arrive with a record of your enemies’ people who hated you or people you hated;
sorry you may be sent back for reconciliation?
May be you arrived with a list of people
that must remain perpetually under your wimps and caprices;
people you made sure
that they are always your subjects to be oppressed and exploited at your command;
sorry you have to go back to have them released.
Perhaps you were busy acquiring and growing an empire
what a lofty idea
but how was that able to help you show the required little kindness
towards a brother falling by the way
or was your empire a useful tool to further trample upon
the so called poor people (fellow travelers) on your path.
You failed to realize that every poor man on your way
is a designed privilege for you to enrich your virtuous stuck account,
which you must reap at the end of your journey.
Anything you give out with no string attached is an investment in stock.
Ironically you can never out give your source!
By showing a little kindness,
by giving a helping hand when and where needed we make these all-important investments.
We virtuously enrich ourselves.
This is the import of our mission;
To go and multiply goodness.
Not envy, strife, greed, selfishness, malice and hatred but goodness
Listen to me,
Poor people or people that require your help
Are stepping stones designed to test your capacity to love
And to lift you up in this journey.
And everybody in this journey have an empty hand stretched out,
Asking for one form of arms or the other;
May be a nakedness to cloth, a bleeding heart to console, and a weakness to be made strong. Someone seeking to be heard understood and accepted for the best he can be.
We will always find something to give if we care.
If you fail to take advantage of this opportunity you will definitely passby for life and someone else will take advantage of it for his good.
You are indispensable to the needs of one another
As much as you make yourself available to help.
Otherwise,
Providence is also capable to make them flourish
ever more than what you can think if you make yourself unavailable.
At the appointed time every traveler must get to his or her destination.
What is important is not where you have been but what you did there,
not when you got there
but what you got there with;
that is the souls we are able to positively influence.
Poor or Rich we are all privileged with the Gift of Life.
People, be good now while you can!

DEAR GOD I PRAY.........

DEAR LORD I PRAY TO YOU WITH A FERVENT HEART PLEASE GRANT MY PRAYERS.

‘Lord, help me to give my children the best; not of things, but of myself, cherishing them on
good days and bad, theirs and mine.
Teach me to accept them for who they are, not just for what they do; to listen to what they say,
if only so they’ll listen to me; to encourage their goals, not mine.
Let me give them a home where respect and integrity are the cornerstones, and there’s enough
happiness to fulfil our mission.
May I give them the courage to be true to themselves; the independence to take care of
themselves, and the faith to believe in You.
May I discipline them without demeaning them, demand good manners without forgetting my
own, and let them know they have limitless love no matter what they do.
Let me feed them properly, clothe them adequately, and have enough to give them small
allowances – not for the work they do, but the pleasure they bring.
Let me be moderate in all these things,
so that the joy of getting will help them discover the joy of giving.
See that their responsibilities are real but not burdensome,
that my expectations are high but not overwhelming,
and that my praise is thoughtful and given when it’s due.
Help me to teach them that excellence is work’s real reward.
And when it comes;
let me revel in each honour, however small,
without once pretending that it’s mine; my children are glories enough.
Above all,
let me ground them so well in Your truth that I can let them go.
In my Redeemer's name, .....Amen!’
