Your Sanity, Your Choice.

 In the midst of many troubles, trials and conflicts, there remains the need to dwell beside the still waters.

You may not have bargained for what you are experiencing or seeing almost everywhere, and may not even know the way out of the situations. Your existence in the future may appear impossible, as  the 'fear of the unknown' grips you, successfully keeping you in bounds.

It may look like a time when remaining alive and having your loved ones do same, is a mirage, due to the preventable conditions birthed by scars of past conflicts, visible unabating intimidation, unwarranted suppression, with the nonchalance of those we gave the privilege of occupying positions of leadership.

Man is not limitless, wherever he may be found; despite his level of sophistication, the wealth of his armoury, intimidating records and exceptional skills.

These times are perilous, we must accept it and trust God enough to see us through. The troubles in the world today may never become better, but we can victoriously navigate through them, through the number of days allotted to us, God helping us. 

Joy still comes in the morning. The night will not remain forever, it must give way for the day to bring the ever-needed, hopeful joy, which keeps one  unperturbed in the midst of storm.

It is a time you need to be strong enough to guard your heart against the demoralizing and dangerous bullets of those, who have taken it upon themselves, to share on social media and other channels; hoaxes, fallacies, horrible scenes and nauseating stories.

Many appear to have been fed up with these, and for their own good,  resolved to get a temporary holiday from social media, so as to enjoy some level of calmness within.

Be among those that cherish peace, and will consciously build hope and preserve lives, against all odds, through your activities and utterances. Refuse to be seen in the bandwagon of those that fan the embers of conflict and war. 

We must, as a matter of necessity, intentionally and carefully replace fear with faith. In all situations, the sanity of your mind is possible and a good mental health achievable. 

The choice is yours...
