Every time I tune on to watch or listen to the news, either on cable, radio or internet, what I see and hear is more of war (within or without), "terrorist" attacks, economic melt-down, ethnic cleansing, you name it. Little does one see or hear of good news from the world around. The most hurting aspect is that most of these things are caused by man in the quest for "profitting" from others suffering.
Ones immediate environment is shrouded in corruption and bad governance which in turn have led to insecurity, poverty, illiteracy and disease. Every day comes with its ramifications of stress-anxiety effects. You feel as if all these trials and tribulations wouldn't cease.
Majority of the leadership we see around don't help the situation. Worst and disheartening to know that most of these troubles and problems are deeply rooted and connected to bad leadership.
Overwhelming as all these may be...
But just close your eyes, remind yourself that The Almighty God is watching. Your efforts, your deeds, your patience will never go wasted. Remind yourself that it’s all being written down for a later reference. Open your eyes and keep going. Look past the struggles, look past the pain. Remind yourself of how good it would feel to have it all one day come back to you to elevate you in your status. Don’t let go. Don’t give up.
Assist others with the little you have. Feel the pains and sufferings that others have. Pray for them as that may be the source of their relief from pains and suffering.
Don't just walk away. Speak to them a nice and comforting word. Perhaps, someday it will echoe in eternity that you did use God's given gift of speech to help your fellow humans when you had nothing to offer but your comforting words.
Leadership is a trust from GOD and you will be questioned on how you honour or dishonour this trust.
ALWAYS HAVE THE FEAR AND LOVE THAT THE ALMIGHTY GOD EXPECTS FROM YOU.
