My confidence must be in God more than it is on anything or anyone else.Words from a book of Joyce Meyer's that I am currently reading,The confident woman.It talks about believing in oneself as a woman and believing in God.To concentrate on the opening words now.This comes after Joyce at some point thought what would happen to her Ministry if her husband was to pass on and God spoke to her heart and told her that she would continue doing what she is doing because it is He who holds her up;God and not her husband Dave.
That spoke to me.How we feel life cannot move on if a certain person or certain people are not around.How we feel we will die,if our loved ones died and some of us actually stop living when that happens and just exist,because they have attached their existence to certain individuals.And a lot of us do that,consciously or unconsciously.We have become dependent on our fellow human beings,completely that we forget that it is God who holds us up.That those people are God's way of touching our lives directly.It's like we end up loving the creation more than the Creator.
I have had someone in my life who I believed was my everything and I would dread just the thought of her not being around.I wondered what I would do without her.It was so much that God had to open my eyes and make me see what was happening.She was almost like a god as she had taken God's place in my life.I cared more about what she thought than anyone else,and when God sensitized my heart to that,I saw how true that was and I had to retrace my steps.I did and I realized,she is a blessing indeed but that if something were ti happen to her,God is very much able to bring someone else my way who will provide me with whatever it is that i would be in need of.
All the people who touch our lives are God's representatives in our lives and that is what we should always have in mind.Every single day.One of my favorite quotes of all time goes like 'Don't cry coz it's ending,smile coz it happened'. This you can apply to every aspect of your life and it helps you a lot of bitterness,if you ask me.And as the wisest man who ever existed said,you should always remember that life is full of seasons.There is time for everything.Today you're celebrating a graduation,tomorrow mourning the death if a loved one.That is just the cycle of life and once you accept it,it makes life a lot easy.It helps you remember that nothing is permanent.Even those beautiful moments.Even babies with their cuteness grow up and times you wish they could just remain as toddlers...
Well,this is just a reminder than other than change,God is the only other Person who is constant.The same yesterday,today and forever.He does not change and that's for sure and that is the one thing we should always remember.That no matter what season we are at in our life,God is the same God,who was with us during the good and He will be with us during the bad and through every season and every point of our life.He never leaves nor forsakes us.We always need to remember this at whatever pint of our lives we are.
Just a reminder that we should always remember that us and God,that's a crowd.That God is the only one we really truly need.The people in our lives are blessings but that if they are to leave,as human beings always do,we should remember we will be ok because the One who blessed us with the one who left is faithful enough to bless us with another one.
To our hero,Prof Wangari Maathai,you were a beautiful flower that released a beautiful scent while you lived.R.I.P.
