The crickets are chirping in the neighbourhood. The birds are cooling off in their nest after a stressful day and the world retires humbly into the overwhelming hooting of darkness.
Down the street, someone is down and dejected, nothing to show for a long day of hardwork. Life is hard. That’s the reality but yet we’ve got to push on above its harsh realities. Somewhere in the countryside, a grandma prays fervently for her son’s family in city of which she perceives that they are going through tough times though she wonders how she will feed for the next few days. Across the street, someone’s marriage is at the brink of collapse. In the budding moonlight, a young lady sits down counting the stars and wondering what love has in stock for her.
Well, the situations of life are different but the remedy is the same. LOVE. That’s is the remedy! It’s the grease on which life itself revolves. Love colours our world and makes it beautiful, don’t abuse love, it’s the fulcrum on which life itself revolves. It strengthens the foundation of our world.
The pains of our world would be turned around if only we can love enough. Truly, we are all dependent somehow. We humans are angels with one wing and we can only fly high when we link our wings with our fellow humans. The Holy Bible says ‘Give and it shall be given unto you…’ Hence this means that the measure of love you give will be the measure of love you will receive.
Most times in life, we aspire so high, as though how high we get will determine how happy we shall be. Though aspiring high is good, yet in reality, many people at the top of their ladder are not the happiest. Most of them have a great vacuum that only love can fill.
One interesting thing about love is that one can never give it without receiving some back and no one is too big to receive love. It’s a universal language that unites all creatures.
Our greatest aspiration should be that someone somewhere is happy because we live and because of the value we add to their lives. Our life is not rich because of the cars that are parked in our garage or because of the kind of beds we sleep in or because of the kind of houses we live in but these things shall surely pass in their time but the love we share lives beyond us.
Well, maybe somewhat sadly, every man shall surely die someday. That remains the greatest mystery that the world has not been able to resolve. Be that as it may, when we leave this planet, it’s only our works that we shall be remembered for.
Friends, let’s learn to love, to care and to cherish our fellow humans, not out of some ulterior motive or because of some hidden agenda but because of the reflection we get back when we love. If you want to know what true love is like, imagine what Jesus did on the Cross, imagine the life of Mother Theresa and a host of others who have lived for a worthy course.
There is somebody somewhere waiting to receive your love!
Wouldn’t you rather start loving today?
With a heart filled with LOVE,
Chijindu.
