WORDS OF HOPE

 The symbol of Christianity is a cross not a crown.   Every country has a flag, with colours that tell stories of the toils of it's people. Every school has a crest, designed with symbols they believe represent the values of the school. How about Christianity? Do we need a flag or a crest? Maybe or maybe not. Christianity is not just a fellowship, it's a family and our symbol is the cross. Why the cross? Why not a crown, since our God is a king? Why not any other thing you can think of? I'll tell you why, what do Christians hold dearly? What gives them hope? What event made a difference from other families? The death of Christ! Yes Jesus Christ's death, it may have been an inhuman experience but it saved us, breaking the boundary between man and God. Now that we know one of our symbols, let's value the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for us and look up to Him at all times.

Can you read someone's mind? Can you tell if a person is telling the truth or a lie?  Unlike a pawpaw, the brain can't be opened up to expose the intentions of a person. Imagine if one's thought could pop up like a notification from an app. It would have been good and bad. Why? I'll tell you. With your thoughts popping up like a notification, you can't keep anything of yours safe. If you think of your wealth, others would get to know of it and might harm you just so they get their hands on it. Now if you think of something bad, then others would know and take the necessary actions. In reality we can't read each other's mind but does that mean that we should wish others bad? Certainly not! Nobody can read your mind but it's best if yours is pure. 

 I use to wonder why life is so cruel but now I don't. I've realised that,  like a rose flower; life comes with thorns. These thorns can be removed but one is sure to be pricked. What can we do when we go through troubles? We can either endure and have hope or give up. Giving up ends it all but having hope for a betterment is enough. I'm only saying that life can't be without pain, the reason? I have no idea but if you can endure and have hope, I'm sure we would get through it together.

As Gentle as a still wind and as fierce as a lion. Huge men can easily be presented as fierce warriors in movies, they can cause so much damage and  put fear into others. Some of these huge men can also act as loving and gentle fathers who would sacrifice their lives for their family. The Rock is one of those men who can act as a fierce warrior in one movie and a loving father in another, I ask; how can one man possess such two opposite characters? Is it possible in reality? Can one man be as fierce as a lion and as gentle as a still wind? You tell me. I know one man who's anger can bring the world to an end and yet his gentility led his son to the cross to be crucified. I prefer to experience God's love and have him devour whoever wants my  downfall than depend on luck. I've realised that I can't survive in this world without Him so I'll serve him. How about you?

Can I inherit your love ? How about your happiness? Can I inherit your strong will? How about your courage? Aside material wealth, can we inherit anything from each other? I doubt we can but we can share with each other so I'm sharing my experience with you. God, that man whose actions still amazes me is the reason why I'm a miracle. He's the reason why I can't give up, the reason why each time a tear drops from my eye; I have hope. He's the reason why my weaknesses don't discourage me. He's the reason why I smile after a breakdown. He's the reason why I sleep through my fears, He's the faith I'm rooted to and He's the love that won't let me go. God, him! I would like to share my love, hope, faith, happiness, joy, peace, everything good that has overcome the painful experiences I've been through. I would like to share God with you, please take him also.

 Have you ever read something on Google and doubted it? Google seems to have an answer to every question because day in and day out, people feed it with things. How many times do you ask google questions? Are the answers always helpful? Do you find positive and negative answers? Google holds the answer to many questions but when it comes  to it's reliability, it's between you and the answers you find there. One book you can also google for answers is the bible, it holds power and is reliable. It can keep you pure(Psalm 119:9,11). It blesses you(Luke 11:28). It makes you wise (Matthew 7:24).

 How long can you stay without the internet? A day? A week? A month? I won't even ask about a year because it's obvious that we can't. What's the first thing you look for when you wake up? What do you yearn for within the day? The hottest gossip in town? Our generation is internet oriented, our eyes are always stuck to our screens and our ears are itchy for trending issues; whether good or bad. Our relationship with the internet has  grown so strong that we have become inseparable and we end up replacing our family with them. We've put the internet to bad use, we shame those who can't reach the standards we have set. We have also forced others to ruin their lives and are encouraging others to be phony. The internet is meant to enhance a good relationship with the rest of the world and not replace those close to us. It's good to make use of the internet but it shouldn't be an addiction.
