Cynthia: Sandra , did you hear what I heard? Sandra: what did you hear? Cynthia: Our very own, our aunty, the holier than thou, the woman on fire is pregnant. Sandra: Hey!!!! Cynthia: Hmm, allow me to land. I’ve not even finished. I also heard that the guy denied the pregnancy alleging that she sleeps around with other guys. Sandra: wait ooh! She sleeps around? I said it! All these holier than thou people, they are the worst! I’m better off being bad and everybody knows it instead of pretending to be what I’m not! Nawa ooh. Cynthia: the thing shock me too.
How many of us are in this category of people thinking that it’s better to do everything we know is bad, and be open about it? Should I? Can I talk? I think I can, so first of, I’ll say no! This life is an individual journey ooh, we don’t just make decisions based on people we’ve encountered, what we’ve heard and whatnot. We can’t live like that brethren. We have a conscience and we know what is right. The bible tells us that we’re inexcusable because we have a conscience, we know what is wrong and when we’re wrong, we know it well, we might choose to ignore but we’re well aware that this isn’t what we should do. We can’t justify ourselves with the hypocrisy of another, again I say NO! It’s becoming increasingly normal, I’ve become familiar with scenarios like this and I just feel that I really need to talk about this. We will give account of our lives and we won’t be let off the hook simply because someone who we held in high esteem turned out to be something else or worse than you imagined. You agree right? If you don’t, you can tell me your objections in the comments.
Are we our brother’s keeper when we peddle their stories, their faults, their shortcomings? Is this how we fight? Yeah, this is for those of us who spread abroad the errors of people, especially those held in high esteem. It’s really unbecoming. You know, when we come across such situations our response should be to go back to GOD and ask HIM for the grace to keep running this race and to pray for that person! Yes, we might be very disappointed, granted but spreading the matter doesn’t right the wrong. Sometimes, we look up to people and place them in high regard, having thoughts of how and what you expect of that person based on what we’ve seen but what we don’t know is the personal struggles of that person, what they might be going through right? So, can we cut them some slack? Besides, they did not really ask you to hold them in high esteem, have certain expectations of them and all of that, na you decide to do that one on your own by yourself. The bottom line is, let’s just be merciful, kindhearted and loving, okay? Let our words be seasoned with salt, full of grace. Let’s also remember to run the race that is set before us, not looking at anyone. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
