We live in a “me” world? True?
But, is it a making of its own or a making of me and you, us? See, the world changes with each dawn. New births, technological advances and innovations, architectural designs, diseases, drug discoveries, religions, governments, businesses and of course death. Of all these, there is an aspect that remains constant, the life in a Human being, a gift from God.
This is the point that thoughts on life need be dug deep into if not sunken into. Each and every human being has one to live that is characterized by a myriad of choices to be made Amidst the ever occurring challenges we go through. I understand that it takes Common sense to understand the very choices we make in as much as what is common to me may not be common to you, what makes sense to me may not necessarily be sensible to you.
Each day, we encounter motivational speeches, quotes, books, programmes, tweets and clips of how we can be better people, on how to make the future better, how to get rich, how to pass that exam, how to be a better parent and such. Little are we told on the value of life, of how our choices make or break the world…
Truth is, life is God given and only He comprehends how we get to have our hearts beat. It is at this point that reality needs be swallowed whether sweet or bitter for at the end of the day, He has the final say. We have a calling, yes, a higher calling, that is to be responsible beings through whom the world can see peace. There is no way we can get to live life our own way for we are made of flesh and blood that seeks pleasure recurrently leading us to finding avenues to getting that pleasure thirst quenched no matter the price tag on it. Ever heard of corruptions, war, social injustices, and political unrest amidst other evils? Fact is, we have been rendered proponents of the above.
Beauty is, all is not lost. We have this chance to see life beyond “me” and instead see it as “Him” Yes, the only way we can get to free ourselves from the bad to the good is by embracing Him who is Good and having Him take the lead in our lives having surrendered wholly to His mercy and guidance. The moment we realize how inadequate we are as human beings and on the abundance of Grace that is from the giver of life is when living life starts for without this then we are dead in our desires and wants, live yet without Life for while we were still sinners, Christ died for the ungodly, me and you. Until we see each other as equal beings in the service of the maker then the world will just be, as currently is, a “me” world.
