Cloaked in his secrets and shame, Tony bought a smile. If only he knew about his potentials. "Sometimes I feel it just comes over me" he once confessed to his therapist. Every man keeps a secret yet there's no such thing as secrets except shames we've refused to accept.
We strive to be better at work, our friends and siblings. We chase perfection in wealth, appearance and career so much that we forget the little things. The little yet important things of life, our purpose and message. We forget to love and not just to love but to love unconditionally like he who seals water in a coconut do loves us.
In the book of Romans, Paul emphasizes that humans are justified (made right with God) through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works so a Christian life is nothing but a life of faith, love and humility with moral conduct. It's that simple yet we go through life complicating the benefits we never earned with covetousness with greed.
Have you heard about Leprechauns, those diminutive creatures who would grant their captors demands; whatever it is but whenever the captor is covetous and selfish, their wishes are met with disastrous tidings.
All we're saying is this, the things that actually matters in life isn't materialistic but bonds, relationships and staying true to ourselves. The world is craving for a better place, yelling for a society with pellucid hearts and all that it will take is a joyful heart because a loving heart is a joyful heart.
Let's forget about who wronged us, who should apologise and make amends with first, ourselves because there's no other way of being saved by grace when you can't live a Christ-like life. He forgave who wronged him, blessed who cursed him and he wouldn't know better if he didn't live as a man so he encourages us today, take it one day at a time and decide to make him smile today.
Call someone who needs that call today, reach out with your gifts and make today special with your love, care and affection because that's all a better place needs.
