Hello..........as my post is going to be a bit all over the place today as my mind keeps jumping from one thing to another and i almost cant help it...so dont mind me if i keep moving from one topic to the other would just let my thoughts write what it needs to get out...
Have you ever really pondered on our life after tomorrow, so ok i am not talking about the food we will eat tomorrow, or the car we are saving up to buy next month...or next year...but really what happens to us after the end of life..Do you actually think of this or dont you..cos i really need to know if i am just weird to think about this things...loll...as am sure we think about the next wedding we are going / aso ebi /or concert, or you know general things which is definately normal....but the last couple of months no matter how much i pushed it aside i keep thinking about what really happens when we die....a horde topic dont you think?...or say a horde thought. But not to focus on that point for long as really only God knows what happens after death.. I mean i have watched enough after life experience of people and their experience of hell and things..but really you cant help but think in your mind what if its just fiction and its not true. but more importantly for me is to serve Jesus in truth by Gods Grace..If we cover that part fiction or no Fiction we have nothing to loose..
However this very thought have made me more in touch with the things i do on a daily basis, whether it is as little as a white liar, or a little envy, or a tiny bit of jealousy or be it Gossip but in real terms to think about my actions every God given day about what wrong i had done during the day and to make it right before i go to bed cos you never know there never may be another time to reflect on this things...for me this is a new reflection for my being as to the word says we should be at alert as no one knows when the father is coming, as he comes as a thief in the night and we have to be always ready....so how do you prepare for his coming if not to make our ways right before him and then to the people around us.
I mean are you ready for christ today?.. if he came today would we be ready to go with him?. i have learnt that salvation is a gift given to us by God and it is not by the works we do on earth but by pure mercy, grace and love from the heavenly father but even with that i do think we need to strife to make our conscience and the holy spirit within us to bear witness to the things we do in our daily life, to be good and love others.
The word love rings to my thought...if only we could love everyone around us,( so dont mis interprete me i didnt mean for everyone to love us) but if we as christians, as children of the most high God showed pure love to another without thinking of the benefits of this and especially when no one was watching?
As we live in a world totally based on individual selfish traits,(my this,my that,my, my, my) the ability to live our lives and totally exclude everything else inside it, We live in a world where we show love to only our families and friends and never really to strangers.. we have a religion that is self centered on judgementalism and been hypocritical if their is such a word..and some of us try so hard to help others in our mind but physically we are handicapped by carrying out the tasks, also our so called system works us like machines where the only things we are programmed to think about is work, money, sleep and a new luxury to reward ourselves for the hardwork. The system almost makes it impossible to fit in other people in our lives. After a tired day at work, i really dont know how one can fit in any charity help we could render.
However for me the holyspirit started to make me realise i didnt have to do charity work on a daily basis but still i could try to show love on the train, like always surveying my surroundings and looking for one who needs help, ( I know you re almost late for work and if you dont catch that train you would be late, so what time do u have to look around) but we have to, if you dont look you cannot see..( you cannot see that single mother struggling to push her buggy by herself up the stairs, or the weaker / older persons standing opposite you on the train and really needs that chair you re sitting in.) even though yes u are tired!!!!!....its Hard but God sees our heart, our intention and he helps us through. so i think it all adds up as to what we get to on our daily basis. Our life here is not just about us but about everything and everyone else...
I really hope with all my jumping around thoughts you can get an idea of what i mean...mainly as tomorrow is unknown let us love and be diligent in christ today, so when tomorrow comes we have no regret of today and even if we did, we had made amends at the end of today, to make tomorrow a new beginning and a new start..
