…IT’S NOT YOURS…

 

“Why do pleasures move men away form God, while difficulties move us closer to Him? But God even in His mercy allow some things to move us towards focus.”

…buf akpan

 

We are one day discovered and it takes yet another process to really be aware we exist in this pleasant world many will call terrible but in truth: how pleasant will it be for two mothers whose children were involved in an accident leaving one a survivor and the other dead?

While one was giving thanks in a church, the other was in a cemetery refusing to be comforted while burying her (only) sun.

 

Hmm! What state are you now, a sorrowful or a joyful state? My intentions are right, my hands are pure but I’ll rather have you look closely into yourself. What could cause your tears?...

 

What will make you go an extra mile to give up your life—in encouragement, money or moving out of your comfort to give life to someone you can’t even dream of meeting with one on one?

 

Hmm! You don’t get—I heard in a song, nothing I have is truly mine. After giving it a thought I accepted the truth of the statement.

 

How?

 

I have come to know everything in my procession came at His (God’s) timing through grace, that is God gave them to me because He knows they will give more meaning to my life: I mean the ideas I posses, the little money I have, my relationships and my precious breath of life are all His—at my conception He gave my parents to me, well you can say He gave me to my parents, whatever but truly:

 

“The earth and everything on it belong to the Lord. The world and all its people belong to him.”

…Psalm 24:1 (ERV)

 

If I have a billion dollar and God ask me to give it up, can I? Like the rich young ruler, you remember? (Mathew 19:21). Well if I don’t the billion dollar rules me and I can’t partake of His inheritance. It’s hard but this is my principle number one of humility. Every time my shoulders are about being raised up, this mind comes and am remembered the greatest of all I posses, my breath of life is even a gift to humanity, then those shoulders goes down in humility yet I can’t still say am humble, only One can truly say am humble; God.

 

Look at me and receive for I will give you what I have but only if you can answer this question; if all the wonderful things in your possession are God’s, what about the situation causing your tears and agitation; the lack, the disappointment, the break up in your relationship, the shame and the inability to get a job coupled with hunger and rejection. Are these also God’s?

 

In your answer is your solution and deliverance but just as you can give up your life for another, why not give up the pains and difficulties to the rightful owner who is more than able to carry those burden. Yeah! I know its difficult thinking about the reality without the eyes of faith that can only make us please God.

 

What more can I say? A wonderful and joyful life is also in your possession.

 

I love you but the Lord loves you more than I do.

 

Yours at-all-times.
