This morning, I listened to a sermon titled “Freedom at Last” on a television program. The message was profoundly powerful it touched every area of life and sparked deep, provocative questions about human greed, and the lust for power, For a while I thought of so many things happening in our world of today. people are sold out for firm, wealth and power, harboring hatred within themselves, doing everything possible to get wealth.
Why so much struggle only to get wealth when we truly own nothing? People fighting, scamming and betraying only to gather what will never return with them to the grave. We were born empty, empty shall we return, so why the hatred? Why creating violence everywhere? why so much hate on your neighbour, friend and brother?
If by grace we become wealthy, why can't we promote peace and happiness, making our little world a better place knowing that, all what we have today, were given to us, I mean all. You might be saying,"but I work so hard to have them", Yes! you work hard to gather them by who's grace? Do you know that there are people who work harder than you do yet, they have nothing to be proud of?
Everything we own were given to us; someone bathed you on your first day of life, and someone will bathe you on your last. Someone dressed you when you arrived, and someone will dress you when you depart. You entered this world in total dependence, and you will leave it the same way proving that, from beginning to end, you never truly owned even yourself. You fight to gather wealth, only to later leave them for strangers. You kill to be expand your territory, only to end up occupying six feet of it. Buried in the plot someone else will own and your name erased from the map within a single generation. Let us all together promote peace and love, making the world a better place. Wealth is just an illusion.
