OBSERVATIONS

OBSERVATIONS I have read books on building and achieving...blah blah. One of the authors wrote “ask people to tell you about you and you will be amazed. So I did And this is one of the most touching responses: It’s a cool afternoon on this side of the earth as I pen this down; not to test my writing skills but to state a few very true observations… By my observations, those who try to measure their worth by their contributions to societal welfare live far beneath their emotional expectations. The Bible specifically says in II Cor 10:12 “But in all this comparing and grading and competing, they quite miss the point! I totally understand your yearning to actually render a specific service to mankind that no one else can, in the way you can and it’s commendable I think but I don’t want you to ever be caught up in the web of achievements. Achievements do not ever satisfy; they leave you hungry for more and it’s like an addiction over the long haul. In this web, you find people who are still struggling to find themselves but the loud applauses that have been severally attributed to them confuse them more. They are not described as beings, they are described as achievers. In the quest for discovering who you are, please do not get caught up in what you can do. There are already lots of Christian men out there who bury themselves in their accomplishments and if they are actually gonna be found… it will be worse than the ultimate search and worse still, they will probably be dead beneath that great pile of accomplishments. My lesson: achievements though good but are not meant to control us. What’s the importance of possession if they possess us?
