Can You See My Screen?

 

 

With the global pandemic now sweeping across every facet of the world teachers, lawyers, tv presenters, along with many other professionals are now left in many cases without the regular face to face interaction. The result is that as a means of communicating with those individuals, groups and institutions in need of their services social media platforms have become more popularized as the world seeks to bring everyone to their fingertips.

 

One of the most popular phrases for me in these times has become like for many others is “can you see my screen”. “Sharing screen” has become the way to allow persons to see information in question for more clarity to be given to those in need. Indeed, a very effective way to communicate in light of the current world situation.

 

While “sharing screen” is so important its far more relevant as a people we endeavour to share of hearts with others who are in need right across the various aspects of our life. Essential though the question we should be asking is “can you see my heart?”; can you see my intentions in the things that I’m doing? and “can you see love in my actions?” As humans we often struggle to allow our intentions to be purely driven because of our own selfish disposition to the flesh.

 

In everything that we do we should be so led that no one will be able to question our motives because they are without reproach and guided by principles of virtue and justice. Too often we find ourselves in situations where our very integrity is in question because of one action we have committed for whatever reason. We have to draw of the universal truths of equal rights and justice for all and treat each person as ourselves.

 

It should never become a question of serving my gifts to help myself first but rather let me serve the world of my skills and talents and the world will in turn serve me not because of my service but rather it’s the culture of the society. We should not hide behind the screens of our hearts hoping not to get hurt by others but we should begin to open up ourselves once again to love and the idea of fellowship, brotherhood and peace. Its only then that the world will begin to look like it once was when fear was not the order of the day but love for country, love for fellowmen and love for self.

Land Sharks

Romans 5: 1-5/2 Timothy 4: 6-8   For many persons, the land is as dangerous as the sea because of the many sharks which traverse the territorial areas that is called life. No one can escape them even though they may try because the truth of it encounters with sharks help to add substance to one’s experiences. Life is designed so that sharks are an ever-present danger to test your faith. The Apostle Paul in his writings to Rome opines that tribulation (sharks) leads to patience and patience, experience; experience, hope (Romans 8: 4-3).   Land Sharks appear in many different forms such as people, places and things yet even so we have to push through because we have a resilient nature which lies at our very core, we want to survive; we need to survive. It’s as Charles Darwin puts it that we will adapt rather than choosing to simply no longer exist.  Not all sharks can be conquered or avoided but that does not mean that you will be destroyed because when the great sa...

Goshen: The State of Rest

As it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end. (Matthew 24:37) We are not facing our first crisis in these times neither will we be facing the last one of this and many generations to come. Yet despite all that is happening around us as the people of God we rest safely and peacefully in Goshen not as fools but as wise aware of the times because the days are evil. Goshen as revealed in the biblical text occurs in Genesis/Exodus as a place of safety; a space where the lands of the enemy could not touch Gods chosen people or where the ten Plagues of Egypt could not enter. Likewise, amidst the current global crisis rested assured that like the children of Israel in Egypt though you are tested and tried there is peace during the storm. Let  not  your heart be troubled:  ye believe in God ,  believe also in me . (St. John 14 v 1) Be comforted in this time of crisis for those around people of God because though the world is in that sort of mode those ...
