IT IS SO HAD TO SAY GOODBYE, BUT I AM HUGGING MY FUTURE

HUGGING THE FUTURE

…we have stayed too long, hanging our lives on the pendulum of guilt and contrition. Even people that are supposed to ignite us back to track with a better hope in our purpose have allowed their exaggerations of our pasts sink and immure us under the tents of complacencies. They have kept us in the dark with the darkness of our pasts, darker than ten thousand nights, so much that we fear to come out.

If it were with us for us to decide to attempt, we would have tended to want to, or perhaps we might have gathered our broken tiny bits and pieces; we would have dusted ourselves from the filths and dirt of our pasts to embrace our new found hope; our faith in a future, in our future, that our ‘Jacob’ can still be called ‘Israel’, that our ‘Simon’ can still be called ‘Peter’.

Oh! You declaim, ‘Asirvo, you don’t know what and who I have been, you don’t know what I have done… if you knew, you will know that I don’t deserve God’s mercy… that I don’t deserve a future, that I don’t deserve a second chance’.

I understand you or rather, let me say I empathize, I know that our ‘so-called-beloveds’ have made us conclude that we are not too good to deserve a better future… that we just very much replicating the devil…

I tell you not to believe this-why?

I have been there… I have made mistakes, I have once fumbled… I have done things that I am not proud of, but I had to stand up again and make a dare… god help me, I want to keep standing. The real tragedy of our lives is not in falling, it is in not standing when we fall.

I can, like an high priest, who has borne the same flesh of infirmities accept that you are human when you fall, but it is important that you pick up divinity, stand and refuse to fall again. We all fall sometimes, but we must get up again. Even if the righteous falls seven times, he will stand!

Kid! Man-up and stand again!

This is my announcement! Your future is a new sheet which you can re-write your purpose on. It is blank and you can fill it with the new ink of this renewed you: your new ink of purpose.

God, is still in the in the business of making the best out of your worst. He can make your Rahab fall into the lineage of the Saviour. You are valuable. Close your eyes and let the soothing breeze of God’s caress you with a peace that surpasses understanding as you embrace your future with this hug of faith… this leap of faith that you are better than this.

…and if you desire to make a friend, I can introduce you to God who has actually sent his proposal to you for years to become your friend.

Accept Jesus Christ today!
