ONE IN A MILLION
Have you ever walked into a room and sitting down; you realize you are odd compared to the rest?🎡 And that maybe in that room, you were the only person of your race and color...okay let's say you find yourself having good clothes and everyone is torn down? How does that feel?🪸
Or have you seen the scene of a black feathered hen among thousands of white hens? How does that feel? 🦗Have you also walked into a jungle ; and because you are hungry, you look for a fruit tree and finding one, it is the only fruit-beauty among seemingly dry shrubs. Well, that feels good...it feels welcoming.🎡
It is easy to spot a tree that has fruits among dry and fruitless trees. It is easy to spot a white hen among a million black hens.
Christ in the Bible said that the poor will not lack in the community. 🪸It is obvious that those that have are fewer than the have nots. Whenever a global census is done, a a good percentage is said not to have been counted. They will say 1%. 🦗Well, with human beings that linger in 9 billion plus, such percentage is too big...it leads to a count of 100million people missing. And where they are; they are homeless, jobless, they belong 'nowhere'.🎡 They feed by luck, sleep by luck. And even the ones counted, many are into the lucky life...where feeding and good sleep is chance.🪸
Looking at that as our angle of perception, we try to define wealth differently..."the ability to happily eat , dress and sleep peacefully." Of course many definitions may interplay, but that stands out.
Because of seemingly endless challenges, many of us tend to think we are no bodies.🦗 We tend to curse our living. But have you thought about how many millions of people never have the kind of life you have. They never afford to eat and sleep like you do.🎡 They never afford data to stay on internet like you have done. You are a kind in a million. You can't compare your suffering with the millions that never afford water and that they die from thirst and starvation.🪸 What was the last time you starved to a near death experience? Of course you may not remember. That's because you are one in a million.🦗 Be thankful for what God has made you. Thank God you ate yesterday and woke up today.🎡 Not everyone who sleeps wakes up. Thank God you have the two pairs of shoes, the two clothes, the transport to and fro. 🪸You are one in a million. We as human beings have not the ability to truely compare our sufferings with the rest of the 9 billion on the planet.🦗 If we had, you could see how many people look forward to becoming what you are.
My dear friend, never look down on yourself.🎡 Doing that is like telling God that He hasn't done anything. Be grateful for this new day.🪸 Be grateful for your achievements. Be grateful that you own something. 🦗Be grateful. If you ever feel you are lost in challenges, always remember that you are one in a million.🎡
GOD BLESS YOU
