As I sat by the shores of the ocean admiring the tide and waves, watching the sea gulls hurl up and down and pushing themselves in great movement, the ostriches fill the far end of the ocean in their colours and varieties, the breeze which is cool at some point and harsh when the sea roars in turbulence, beats the trees and causes the birds to either fly away in disarray or say things beyond human understanding. I looked at the sand on the shore, it was white and very clean. I bent down and gathered a handful but it disappeared in seconds as I clasped them together in my hands.
I sat back again, reflecting on the lesson this beautiful scenario offers. It occurred to me that the ocean had times and seasons. There was a time when it would seem as though an invisible force went into it and stirred it up, thereby causing an eruption of the undergrounds of the ocean. That would cause a very visible turbulence. At other times, it would seem as though the force left it and it would return to its state of absolute tranquility.
Same way, life offers us experiences through seasons and episodes. There comes a time in a man's life when the only thing he experiences are the wild clasps and roars of situations. He experiences so much trauma that it even affects those around him. He feels helpless, hopeless and dejected. He feels like its the end of the world.
Dear troubled, just like the ocean experiences ups and downs, you might be going through hell but, please do not give up. Don't feel lost, don't confess negatively. Join the trend and keep calm. Soon, just like tranquility descends upon the ocean, your storm will be over. You will overcome. You will conquer. Your light will surely shine and you will manifest in your full glory.
Just keep your eyes on Him who knew you before you were born. He is dieless, changeless and matchless and sure enough, he will take care of you.
Love,
OY
