Expectations

What happens when you don't meet up with expectations?

What happens when you make a mistake?

Sometimes it is hard to explain why you made a mistake.

Sometimes it is difficult to meet up with expectations that surrounds you.

If I choose to neglect someone because he did not meet up with my expectations or because he probably made a terrible mistake towards me, then I'd be getting it all wrong.

Discarding people because they didn't do what you expected them to do or giving up on them because you feel they're just wasting your time is not an ideal thing to do. We must learn to understand people, tolerate people, most importantly,  be patient with people as well as forgive them.

No one has gotten it all. Everyone needs time to build. Everyone needs a chance to be better. 

When someone is not getting it right, the best thing to do is to correct in love and help the person stand. By so doing, that person will finally rise and be a better person. If you just discard such person because you feel that he has not been adding anything to you or you feel such a person is just frustrating you, how will you affect that life positively?

I can't say I love making positive impacts if the few God has brought my way cannot attest to my goodness towards them.

Love is sacrificial, we need all deserve love and we need to show that love to one another and be ready to affect lives around us positively. It is not an easy task at all but the decision must be taken in the heart and one must be determined to love and see each other as he sees himself. 

Imagine if God left us because we were not meeting up to his expectations or because we kept making mistakes or still because treated him badly. This is a scenario no one would want to know. This is a "big bite for us to chew". God has shown us the way, why then is it so difficult to do the same to our fellow humans. Today we live in a world where people have no self-pity or regard to one's life anymore. We have seen a lot of human rights violations here and there and to some people, it's now a norm. Until we follow the path God has shown us and unite ourselves in love with one another and be our brother's keeper, the same problem will keep repeating itself.

The super endowment

Whether the weather is soothing or not, I choose not to complain! When I don't see the result of my labour,  I choose to keep waiting! If I am misunderstood by my words, I decide to explain clearer! When I don't get it right, I humble myself to be corrected! When I don't know what to do, I choose to pray! Even when I know I ought to have attained a height and it's not visible yet I choose to praise. You know why? That's because I believe it is on the way! In whatever that comes your way, you have a great super power which is choice! Decide how you want to perceive things in life Decide how you want to nuture it. We all are called to be great. The question now is whether we are on the high way or low way to greatness. Decide you must see that greatness realised.

The cry for intimacy

-

There is a comfort that comes with intimacy. It comes with a tide that is exceptionally intense in that you don't need to be nervous about your next notch. Even in the midst of the storm, you are still able to sever yourself from the chaos around you and concentrate on God whose love for you is unquestionable. I must confess that it is not easy to be in the center of a turmoil and still show no worry. But it is also good to know that Rome was not built in a day. Everything can be learned including shifting your attention from troubles to solutions. It just takes deliberate and consistent effort. A dude who worked for a petroleum company was fired from his job just two weeks before their major business deal was concluded. The company declared to all the laid-off staff that their services were no longer needed. That really hurt them! He left the office all sweaty, yelling in anguish that he was finished and did not know what else to do or where else to turn to since he had inve...

Mrs Kate was having dinner with her daughter when the news headline popped up. Nora shouted, 'mum look! It has happened. Mrs Kate quickly wiped her eyes to be sure that the was not daydreaming and she ran very close to the screen shouting ' Ah! mogbe! This is really happening. Thank you Jesus. Our enemies have finally been put to shame'. Eh! Eh! (she sang, dancing continuously as she carried her plate into the kitchen. It all begun on the 23rd Of December where Mr Godson drove to the mall to get some things for the Christmas celebration including the fireworks that they would use when they travel. As soon as he reached the parking lot, three hefty  men approached him and asked him to enter the van that they came with. Mr Godson, still confused about the whole matter asked " what for? And by the way who are you guys? The 1st man: you're still here asking silly questions,  I see you don't like your life". As soon as he finished saying these words h...
