I Love That Man!!

Today, I saw  a handsome young man on a friends display picture. Wow! The guy is cute, I thought   to myself. When  I clicked on it to have a better view, I realised he had passed on at thirty one and would be buried soon.  Sunday, on my way from church, I saw a death notice that read:  'Gone too soon'. The guy was just eighteen. A few weeks ago, when I was in Ho, I saw two notices that read same but this time, the girl was sixteen and the other twenty eight. Okay, this is terrifying.

Such young lives lost to death. Can't tell what happened to any of them but I'm wondering how they are feeling dead and gone out of this world with loved ones behind.  I'm sure they had girlfriends and boyfriends.  I'm sure they must have had a few shots of tequila or even smoked some weed. I'm sure they must have been side chicks at a point in time or might have kept three or so girlfriends at once amongst other things that we all do as human beings.

Yet they just went away and we are still here. I want to know.  Were they ready to die? Would you be ready when the Lord shall come? What does it mean to be ready? I really can't tell. I would need a whole write up to explain that but if they were Christians, did they love that man? Did they win any souls for christ?  Were they born again? Were they forgiving and loving? It's  easier for people to glorify the dead but I'm thinking about celebrating them whilst they are still here instead.

As the world celebrates  Easter, how many people   are really  marking   the reason   for   the   season?  I barely see statuses or photos depicting  anything   about   Easter and its   true significance. How many people   are   loving   that man?

Do you know what time you would go?  Would you be ready? Are you working out your salvation? Are you saying the right words to people?  Can people   find   comfort in your words? Are you   showing people   enough love or just what you   think   they deserve?
Are you  helping   people   enough? Are you   being   a friend  or a snitch? Are you loving that man of Galilee  for the sacrifice he made for us some years ago? How are you loving him: well, I love that man of Galilee, he has done so much   for   me including   forgiving   my sins and sending the Holy ghost   to me. A reason for you   to   love him too.

As the   world marks the death and crucifixion  of Jesus, let me ask, would   you love that man? Would     you   be ready?  Whilst   we remember his laying still in the tomb on this day, shall we also see it as a perfect   time for reflection and live in the   knowledge   that he gave us the law of love instead of sin. Now the choice   is yours. Would you  love that man? Would   you   be   ready ? 

I'm back...
I'm back ...
I'm back !!
Though   I let the   challenges   get to me,
I'm back  from the writing   hiatus  ☺
Happy  Easter !
