Harsh realities of life 2

People will hurt you.

The earlier you know this, the better.
Luke 17:1a KJV
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come:

Jesus says it's IMPOSSIBLE!
As you go through life, people will hurt you, as you will also hurt people.
People will use you!

We are to forgive through it all.
Luke 17:4 KJV
And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Serious work right?

Only a devil will count how many times he's offended by one person in a day 😃

You're not, so you'll keep forgiving.

It’s no news that tomorrow is Valentine’s Day.  Many people are fixed up for this particular day. For some, it’s the perfect time to pop the question;”will you marry me?” Yeah, the entire proposal frenzies. For some, a day to spend with loved ones, see movies, see places, the park, the idea is to have fun through whatever they decide to do, share love, laugh, and cuddle, share gifts, give surprise treats, and the likes. And while for some, it’s just another day; not really interested in what the day means or signifies. For them it’s just another day to enjoy what they do or maybe stay indoors all through. Well, how people choose to spend their day is not my business, and is not the reason why I’m writing this. I want to bring a salient reminder to the fore and lay it bare, to both the celebrants of the day or the onlookers. What is it I want to remind you about? Today, you’ll be surprised at the number of people out there who don’t love themselves. Yes! ...

Little things

Today was my first time out since the start of the working days here in Lagos, Nigeria. I got to experience the effects of the ban on ‘keke’ and ‘okada’, you can check the words up in the oxford dictionary.  My ordeal today further lends credence to the saying that “You don’t know the value of what you have till you lose it” Maybe many of us didn’t really appreciate the value the okada and keke provided till the ban forced us to realize. It wasn’t too bad though, I walked a few distance till I got to areas where their operations were permitted.  The weather was terribly hot, dry and dusty to make it worse. You know, what we call ‘little’ things matter a lot right? I mean the check-ups, one-minute calls, chats, texts, appreciative messages, words of encouragements Many times we fall into this mayhem of thought, thinking that we need to ‘make a statement’ with expensive gestures before we can impact those around us or before they appreciate us.

The Unknown Consequences Of Our Lives

 This morning, on my way to the office, seating on that bike, like a rush of wind, came this thought to me "'what if I took the other bike? What would have happened?'' And from there, the thought spiraled into several other thoughts, '' what if I delayed some five minutes more?" "What if I wore another T-shirt?" "What if I decided to sit back at home today?" and many other 'what if's' I asked myself After so many thoughts, I looked at life as an aggregate summation of our choices every day.  It reminded me of a particular day I was heading out to an event and was held up in traffic and it was starting to frustrate me. So what did I do? I came off the bus heading to Ketu, Lagos and made my way trekking through so many shortcuts to the bus stop. It was on my way that I met a friend of mine with whom we I did Pre-degree with, back then in the university. This was someone I had not seen in over 7 years, getting to see him in...
