WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU?

Many times a lot of people do not even know the type of persons they are. Hope you do not belong to such group? However, how was your weekend? Hope you went to Church yesterday? Are you rejuvenated this morning or still suffering the hangover of yesterday groove? 😜😜

Last week, I asked some group of youths what they really want in life. Many of them said, good health;  success in business;  freedom from parents; life partner; riches and wealth, and so on. Unfortunately, no one said that s/he wants to find meaning in life, or to be the person that God has created him/her to be. What a world!

My dear friend(s), I am asking you this question today: What kind of person do you want to be? Or, what kind of person are you? Are you a deceitful person, a greedy person, a nasty person, a selfish person, a wicked person? Or, are you a loving person, a generous person, a compassionate person, a caring person,  a trustworthy and honest person? 🙊🙊

Put it differently, why were you created, and what is the meaning of your existence? Well, whatever your situation is,  God permits return, and He even encourages those who are losing hope (Sirach 17, 24ff).

All hope is not lost, because whenever you and I are losing meaning and hope in life, God readily comes to us with open arms and gives us meaning in life. Don't forget that when wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost,  something is lost; and when meaning in life is lost, then everything is lost.

As you begin this new week, I pray for you. May you find purpose and meaning in your life. May your friends bless you. May your enemies reconcile with you. May your neighbors live in peace with you. And may your life affect others positively.

Remember to eat very well before you leave your house and should you do not have what to eat, enter any eatery closer to you and take whatever you need on my account. After all, what are friends for... 👍🏻👊🏻

Mesiere!
