Change: A force to be reckoned with

-



Change mocks us with her beauty, she plays with our emotions and she leads us astray. First, it starts with a kiss and a hug and you think, 'this is what I need'. 
Then the process of letting change in begins.  Things happen but they never happen the way we expect them to. 

You become sceptical, unsure, pining for the old, the past; where life was comfortable and known. Craving to return but unable to return, feeling unstable. 

You have to face her, you have to accept her into your embrace while remembering that God has you. His ways are not your ways and His thoughts are not your thoughts, they are higher.


There are two sides to change. The first side is the normal side, the side that is inevitable but yet unpredictable. The side people look forward to but yet at the same time sometimes dread. The surprising and shocking side, the slow and fast side, the beautiful and yet ugly side.

The second side is the artificial side... Oh, so we think! I say artificial because we drive change on this side.  We manipulate circumstances and situations to occur for change to take place, but the question is... Who manipulates us towards such outcomes? God? The devil? 

The second side of change is the side we "fight for". The side most people in society want; the pulling down of the patriarchal side, the black lives matter side, the women's right side, the political and religious side, the economical and social side, the racial and gender side.

It can be both beautiful and damaging. Two sides to the same coin; both normal and abnormal, natural and unnatural.



Change is both complicated and understanding. It is revolutionary when it wants to be, a force to be reckoned with; a necessary evil and good. 

It is everything we need and nothing we want. It is opposing, agreeable, opening, realising, renewing. Growth requires change but some things are better without the need for change and some things require it. 

It is the only normalcy and constant in our lives. How we choose to embrace change, will determine everything that happens after that. However, choosing what to embrace is the catalyst for life.

    Profound. Life itself is full of changes from inception to death because of old age

God's Magnificent Love towards us

-

I think 🤔 one of the most important things I have learnt in life is God's magnificent love towards us.  I don't mean feeling or knowing He loves us, but understanding and having knowledge of His love towards us.  I have always struggled with faith and struggled with accepting where I am and where God has taken me.   I have always complained about this and that, never satisfied with what I have and what God has given me. Never wondering if there are lessons to be learned in all these and reasons for God doing what He is doing. Nevertheless,  when I began to gain knowledge and understanding of God's love, it led me to a better understanding of faith and who God is. I mean His love is so pure and so true that His thoughts towards us are of good not of evil to bring us to an expected end!  EXPECTED NOT UNEXPECTED! Meaning an end that is going to happen. When we have an understanding and knowledge of the love God has for us, we can trust Him and have complete faith in Him. He l

The Principle of Free Will and The Invincible Forces That Govern This World

-
Last year on this blog, I wrote about the fault being in us and not in our stars and how our actions are a ripple effect that governs the things that will eventually take place in our lives. I spoke on the principle of sowing and reaping. However, since then, I have come to realize that there is much more to life than us and the decisions we make. Whether we choose to believe it, we do not govern ourselves. There is a reason why the bible states that the whole world lies under the influence of the evil one. Ephesians 2:1-3 states that  God quickened us, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past, we walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. As you can see, free will

The fault is in Us

Shakespeare was right when he said that the fault is not in our stars but in us. The fault is indeed in us.  We are the problem.  And instead of us taking responsibility for our own actions, we choose to shift that responsibility to "fate".  An invincible force that supposedly determines the steps of human life..   This is what we refer to as our stars!  I believe in God and I believe He directs our steps when we choose His will and His way.  But most times, we tend to use the concept of free will to argue ourselves out of holes we used our own hands to dig ourselves into.   Look at the children of today! They are growing up with no role models, protection, or direction.  They are growing up in a world that has been perverted.  A world where some people want to consider pedophilia as a sexual trait instead of a crime.  Free will and the freedom to do as one pleases has been taken so much out of context, that people commit crimes based on rights.   We have created laws with lo
