I have not written in a long while. Tonight as I lay in bed listening to Worship and Praise songs, I have the urge to type out this piece.
You see, this world is a stage as Shakespeare wrote. There are many roles to play however the Great One is the one who is in charge of auditions. As you do well, He directs your path. He has given us all the will to decide and choose for ourselves and then again He assures us that if we choose to rely on Him, He will journey us through this earth plane.
He bids His time and loves to spring surprises on us, so that when what He has in store materializes, we are in shock.
I know what you are thinking. On that subject of death, let me say that we know not how we will transition from this earth. On that we have to continuously ask Him to do His will, however grant us a peaceful departure.
Finally, pause in your thinking and reflect on your life. What is your impact? What legacy are you leaving behind when you are called? Again who is emulating you even as you live?
