ENDLESS LOVE!

“Love is when the other person’s happiness is more important than your own”…H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Seriously!

Where does one start to talk about love? It apparently seems to get even more difficult by the day, considering the world as it is. There is currently more insecurity now more than ever. We have increased vastly in knowledge and likewise in sorrow.

There is so much noise, greed, selfishness, over-ambition, quest for unnecessary wealth out there so much that we are momentarily distracted from paying attention to ourselves, and by implication, our love has systematically waned.

“Love yourself. It is important to stay positive because beauty comes from the inside out ”…Jenn Proske

Deserving

A school of thought describes love as an ability…perhaps the ability to make sacrifices for your fellow human. One has to practically leave his/her comfort zone to demonstrate love, which of course pretty much makes sense, just like Christians believe that Jesus died for us.

As they say, if you want love, you’ve got to give it, just like a reciprocation of sort by principle.

Now the question is, if you want to be loved (Of course you do, who doesn’t?), are you deserving of love?

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that”…Martin Luther King, Jr.

For God’s sake!

As you very well know, the world is currently going through a massive transformation. Newly sworn in United States President Donald Trump issued a controversial Executive Order on new travel stand into the States, which has caused rowdy protests throughout the country. Same thing applies to other countries like Nigeria which her citizens in different spheres such as petroleum industry and entertainment industry threaten strikes and protests respectively, also other war torn countries like Syria, Somalia and Iraq are ravaged by terrorists.

 

Nigeria in particular is presently going through an avoidable recession, but it has become inevitable due to the lack of love which birthed corruption which has been taken to a whole new level, leaving Nigerians in the trenches, blurring hope of future survival, spurring our able youths to emigrate to America where they are treated like slaves.

When I analyze the world problems especially the manmade ones, I wonder what happened to the other cheek.

“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend”… Martin Luther King, Jr.

Love conquers all!

It might interest you or even surprise you that I am not an advocate of changing the world, because I think it is an impossible task. Rather we should focus on changing our attitudes and ourselves to stereotypes and prevailing circumstances.

It has been preached by many prophets and philosophers that we have the power to take control of our lives and situations by taking a moment to breathe deep and think before we act. Pairing this with a positive mental attitude, we will graciously approach a win-win situation.

We need to love ourselves well enough to believe that we can make the best of our nation and ourselves in unity.

“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity”…Proverbs 17; 17

Now that the adversity stares us in the face, There is no better time to come to the aid of our brothers and sisters even if they wronged us or abandoned us in our times of trouble and need.

If only we can stand together in love and unity, in faith and courage, perhaps our undefiled and undiluted lot, and by that I mean Africa, may be the next world power after all, we only have to be seriously deserving for God’s sake, and love shall surely conquer all, just like an endless love.

Thank you! You are far too kind.
