THE MESSAGE
Transcribed on 19th December 2024 @ 2:40 pm
“There comes a time in one’s life when man realises his lot!”
Now that is an opening statement for you to contemplate. But what does it mean?
Mankind has this inept desire to achieve, to chase dreams, and to acquire assets. Most of their lives, they pursue things they believe they need, and often believe they deserve. A life wasted wanting the glitter of success and the things that come with it. But there will be a time in everyone’s life when they will realise that what they have been chasing, what they have acquired, what they are worth means nothing. They will long for more time to live, more health and more peace. They will want love and to be loved.
When they review their lives they may see the holes in the fabric caused from needlessly demanding bigger and greater things. Some will reveal their lives with a sense of pride for their achievements, while others will continue to wish for more.
But ask every single one of them if they could change one aspect of their life so far, everyone of them will answer yes, because everyone has something they wished they’d done differently.
Some would wish for more time with their families and loved ones. Some would wish for better homes or smarter vehicles. Some might wish for more exotic holidays, while others might still wish for more money.
But what if they were asked about their spiritual being? What if they were asked to describe how they’d enhanced their soul’s purpose? What then would be their answers?
A few, no doubt, wouldn’t care about it until pressed for an answer. Then what would they expose?
If people were asked what qualities of life they believe to be important, using single words, you’d hear words like peace, happiness, and love, high on the choices, probably shortly followed by good health.
Is it not interesting that for a fulfilled life, man’s most important gifts are free and readily available. Peace is to be found within everyone. Peace is a state of acceptance, and of being. Peace is a decision. Along with that peace, happiness follows. Happiness in abundance and throughout their being. And with happiness there is always love. Love of life, of self and of all.
Where, I ask, do the material assets fit in all of that? How important are those things really, when peace, happiness and love are the most important aspects of life?
I will finish as I started.
” There comes a time in one’s life when man realises his lot”.
When, I ask you, when will that time be? When it’s too late and life is nearing its end on earth? Or will it be when their spirit shouts loud enough to get their attention?
Life is the greatest gift given by God. Realise your lot and welcome peace, happiness and love into it this day and always. God wants nothing more from you for you to enter his kingdom.
Goodbye.
