The closest Encounter

Relaxing on my bed thinking about certain news I heard, I tend to wonder why some people always think they have a right over another persons life. These persons forget that we all have individual life to live.
Recently I have come to understand that life is a city we build. Some think of life as a string of events- one following another like pearls on a string. But the past remains with us and decisions made often follow us; bad decision dog our steps and haunt our mind.
Life is a city with streets and structures all built by our decisions. There are beautiful parks and tree lined lanes. This is always the part of our life that we show others. It is what we want them to see. But like any city, there are dark alleys. In those place, we store the things we are ashamed of, things of embarrassment. This is where we store our regrets, doubts, fears and sins. So why judge someone else's dark alley?
Those dark alleys we travel alone hoping no one will ever catch a glimpse of them, but it is there we are most likely to find Jesus waiting for us. He strolls the dark roads, walks our dead ends, pass through our emotional and spiritual ghettos and He doesn't feel sullied by them.
Past indiscretions do not disqualify us for his love so don't let anyone write you off. We are not an embarrassment to Him. Jesus is a hand on-savior. He doesn't mind getting his hand dirty. He will turn the dismal past into a glorious future.
Jesus has a private meeting with each of us, not for others to see. Just you and Jesus! When men judge your past, look to jesus who doesn't mind giving you a hug no matter how dirty you are!
Your comments would be welcomed.

Hold On...

Our experiences in life changes just like the weather conditions. At different times we are faced with either pleasurable or harrowing conditions. Sometimes we experience heat-warming success, at other times we experience heart-rending  failures. Sometimes there is much joy and laughter, at other times there is much sorrow and sighing. Sometimes we bubble with life and health, other times we are over taken by sickness. Sometimes we enjoy prosperity with plenty, other times we endure lack and hunger. A lot of persons change with their changing circumstances. When the going gets good, they are elated and highly spirited, but when they get hit by an ugly circumstance, everything goes down completely. They lose the glee and gladness they once had when everything was favorable to them.  Most Christians do same. They love and obey God, go to church and do all manner of religious activities when things are all rosy, when there are no challenges, and turn against Him when thin...

LETTER TO MY TEENAGE BOY AND GIRL 2

My dear, I believe that you enjoyed the last letter I wrote to you and you have also seen how important that letter is to your future. Well, just like I told you the last time I wrote to you, I am here to complete what I started. Among many other things, I would love to remind you that you should not be confused when you see your opposite sex, behaving in differently in a relationship. Lack of understanding of the difference between a girl and a boy, makes a lot of your friends endanger their lives.  You should be able to know what the guy wants from you and you the guy should know what the girl wants from you. God created you all differently and reasons for doing this is best known to him. But I believe that God love variety and as such decided to create us all differently instead of a robot. Lifestyle is another practical reason why a lot of your friends fall in love today and fall out tomorrow. Please I would love you to learn early that you can do things that will a...

YOU ARE NOT A JUNK

Myles Munroe my favorite author once shared a wonderful thought in one of his work that holds a great deal of life lesson. He said, “A sculptor works in a very interesting way, and it would be great foolishness to argue with an artist until he is finished. He said; don’t discuss anything with a painter or a sculptor until his work is completed. An artist can be very rude if you disturb him before he has accomplished what he intends to do, because he sees differently that those who are not artists. An artist can walk by the stone in your front yard and see a figure in it. He may stop by your house and beg you for a stone you have walked past many times without noticing. The dogs may have been doing stuff on it. You may even have been planning to get rid of it because it’s a nuisance. But the artist walks into your yard and sees something beautiful in that stone beyond what you can imagine. Two months later when the artist invites you to his workshop he says, “do you see that? D...
