I have been around long enough to know that as you grow, the things you worry about or get concerned with the most change.
I’m not 57, please don’t get me wrong. I still qualify to be called a youth, but perhaps one with an ounce of experience in life to know that life does not always follow your plans & wishes.
I remember well, not too long ago sitting alone in my room and asking myself: Where Am I? How did I get here? So many bizarre events took place and I felt like I began losing my sense of direction and the one thing that keeps us all alive which is HOPE. No, I can lose everything but not that! How do I live without hope?
Asking myself ‘where am I’ came from a place of feeling like my many efforts to make something of my life yielded no results. I desperately wanted to see forward movement in my life but I didn’t. So I began wondering restlessly what the next step should be. “Should I take up studies, should I concentrate on my career or what? If I had done this 3 years ago, I’m sure things would look different today”, I thought to myself. This is just a snippet of the kind of madness that goes through one’s mind when they’re restless. I felt totally lost on this beautiful earth & wondered if there was even a place for me here. The only thing I cried for was peace. As the old saying goes: “nothing is new under the sun”. I do not believe for a moment that I’m the only person to have experienced this tumult in my soul. Everything we go through is for a purpose, I believe. I can’t say I’ve now figured it all out hence I’m writing this article. Life being a journey, or an adventure as some would chose to describe it, there’s a lot I’m yet to experience. But having been through a difficult patch and still be able to face life today makes me want to tell you, who may be feeling you’ve lost your way, or that your life compass can’t provide you direction anymore that you can find peace to begin with. Any move made in desperation only leads to more headaches. See, this peace won’t come from all your problems being fixed but it is one that keeps you composed even in the midst of challenges. I would like to introduce you to a God who provides such peace, and when His peace reassures you that you can still make it in life, He Himself will start directing you. He can become your ‘life compass’ if you allow Him. And by the way, He never loses direction. This is no fairy-tale, God is real. Would you like to know more on this?
