THIS IS IT!

(A Decade Not Decayed)

This is it! This is the time for self-reflection, self-introspection, self-perfection, self-affection and self-projection. If there is any question to ask amidst this tension, it should be; "what legacy am I leaving behind?", "how will I be a better man?", "how can I live a holy life?", "how can I be loving?", and "what must I do to add value to my life?"

The "lost son" pondered about his journey in life while in a foreign land and became the "found son" when he took the first step towards home. Nebuchadnezzar assessed his life while in affliction and became a "better man" when he was restored to his position. Jesus prayed while alone in the wilderness and became powerful when He came to town. Saul of Tarsus "the bitter" contemplated on his ways while in agony and became Paul "the loving" when he accepted Christ. Nelson Mandela educated himself while in prison and became knowledgeable when he was released.

The decade might have started on a wrong note, but this is the time to make some notes—the decade is not decayed yet. Take this time; to reflect on your past mistakes, to examine yourself, to be a better version of yourself, to be affectionate to all, to draw a roadmap for your future. It was so when Moses came out of the Mountain that his face was shining (Exodus 34:29, 30). How will you look when you come out from this Mountain (viral outbreak-Covid-19)? God loves you!
