"LIFE IS A JOURNEY & NOT A DESTINATION"

(Dear Folks, Friends, Brother’s & Sister’s in the Lord…..I have been away for long, God Blessed me with a job, unfortunately the timings are not suitable, yet HE IS THE GIVER, I have no complains. But what has really ridiculed me is that some of you have MISSED my POST’s. This in itself is an INSPIRATION. I THANK YOU all for reading, well I hope my previous posts have impacted your life in some way or the other, even if it’s 1%...I just THANK the ALMIGHTY FATHER…….)

Today I want to talk about LIFE, more about the basics; this post is going to be SCRIPTURE FREE. Forgive me because I have so much to align with practical facts of life.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY & NOT A DESTINATION……WE ALONE HOLD THE MAP, TO BROWSE THROUGH THE LATITUDES & LONGTITUDES.

We are all on a journey in life. It is a journey of discovery, of so many possibilities and of unexpected opportunity. Of course we do not know where we will end up - for our destination is unknown to us. Indeed, some people have a very strong sense of 'fate' of 'knowing' just where they will end up. Cheers to THEM…! But even then life is so big and so mysterious that because every day is a new day, none of us can know for sure where we will end up.

For everything in this journey of life we are on, there is a right wing and a left wing: for the wing of love there is anger; for the wing of destiny there is fear; for the wing of pain there is healing; for the wing of hurt there is forgiveness; for the wing of pride there is humility; for the wing of giving there is taking; for the wing of tears there is joy; for the wing of rejection there is acceptance; for the wing of judgment there is grace; for the wing of honor there is shame; for the wing of letting go there is the wing of keeping.

We can only fly with two wings and two wings can only stay in the air if there is a balance. Two beautiful wings is perfection. There is a generation of people who idealize perfection as the existence of only one of these wings every time. But I see that a bird with one wing is imperfect. An angel with one wing is imperfect. A butterfly with one wing is dead. So this generation of people strive to always cut off the other wing in the hopes of embodying their ideal of perfection, and in doing so, have created a crippled race.

But there are circumstances, which allow you to strive on one wing, no matter what, you have a war between your heart and mind. Ask yourself what the status of your wings is, do they fall in any of the above categories. As an individual you hope for a CHANGE, but this is far from happening. We are all so porous. We tend to give up, on this long journey. But here I am to encourage you to continue your journey with a hope.

Let’s ride into imagination, assume that God Blessed you & me with a SON, who grows up and is a PILOT someday. What would be his response to the above scenario….? This is how life for some is – CRASHED/CRUSHED INTO PIECES…..at ground level. We probably have taken off on the wrong plane.

Sometimes it is about being in the right place at the right time. Of taking the opportunities that life affords us and grabbing, with both hands, those opportunities. In life it is all about decisions. What happens if you take the left road instead of the right? What happens if you turn down the opportunity of marriage, and a potential family? So many decisions, and that is what life is, from beginning to end, a series of decisions and decision-making.

Life is all about 'whatifs' and 'maybes'. It is all about making those choices that we think are right for us, at that particular point in time. 

Life is what you make it and those words are true up to a point.  So be optimistic, believe that GOD is the CREATOR of Heaven & Earth, he has fashioned us so beautifully for a purpose. We are his workmanship alone, lest any man should boast. Believe that he wants you to have all the good things. Satan comes to steal, kill & destroy. Almighty God wants to give us everything in ABUNDANCE.

BE BLESSED FOLKS……
