Let’s Be Clear

In the absence of clarity, ambiguity rules; looking does not necessarily guarantee seeing.

Not knowing where you are going and wanting to blame everyone for not getting there is foolhardy.

There is a unique call on your life; something definite you are here for. Settle down today to find it. Pay every required price to develop and live it. Be humble, ready to learn and willing to be misunderstood.

Stop the Molue (bandwagon) approach to life. That everyone is in it does not mean you should get on-board. Your assignment is so special; you also cannot uncover it through an Eeny Meeny Miney Mo (random and luck-based) process. Christ is the revealer of all things and there is clarity in Him.

The clock is ticking, and ticking very fast. The Master is watching, annals are being prepared, and a great banquet is underway for achievers of their mission.

It’s time to be clear why another day matters in the achievement of our reasons for being here on earth.

Exposure and Composure.

I have come to understand that to the open-minded, everyday is an opportunity to learn something new. To the close-minded however, the lessons of life have already been learnt - there is really nothing new under the heavens.

Those who have experienced and survived the vicissitude of certain life-defining circumstances, received and enjoyed certain rare and unmerited privileges and most importantly encountered and genuinely submitted to God, behave differently; they are unassuming, selfless and considerate.

On the other hand, those worldviews are self-constructed, who stand on the walls of nothingness, wear the garbs of emptiness and interact extensively with shallowness are typically arrogant, self-conceited and judgmental. They hastily generalize on things, situations and people they know very little about. In almost all cases, they end up being wrong. Sad enough, they really do not care as they consider themselves right in their mind; always.

As its commonly said that 'looking is not the same as seeing', exposure helps with seeing, and seeing the core of issues before coming to conclusions about them.

I choose to be exposed so I can compose myself rightly. I choose to be open-minded so I can learn the unlearnt lessons needed for my greatness. I choose to maintain my continuous enrollment in the school of life, a school without graduation.
