My Brother Hurts My Indian Friend

-

 My thought today: My Brother hurts my Indian friend. 


     While in a conversation with my brother yesterday, i told him that my Indian friend gave me a gift(incense sticks), my brother said "Glory be careful not to start worshipping those their funny Indian gods".


     Fortunately or unfortunately for us, my Indian friend who is also our neighbour over heard the conversation and was terribly hurt.  He then asked me 3 questions that break my heart. He asked

1. "In your religion, do you believe in Jesus?" i said "yes, we do". "We believe in Jesus too", he confirmed. He then asked 

2. "Do you know the greatest commandment that Jesus gave man"? I said "yes, it is that of LOVE, love of God and Love of man." Then i couldn't answer his final question, he asked

3. "We believe in that commandment too, Why then does your brother think we worship funny gods? Why does he reduce God to your religion? 


      Like i said earlier,  i couldn't answer my Indian friend's  final question . You might want to ponder on his question and a few more questions that this conversation arose in my mind.

1. Do you believe in God or in your religion?

2. Do you respect other people's religious opinion? Or are you full of bias?

3. Do you believe that the  Love of God and Love of Man is the greatest commandment that should be?

4. Do you take responsibility for the things you say and for what the people around you understand or you are only responsible for what you say?


        Whatever your answers are, i believe that Love is all we need to make our homes, families, countries and the world a better place. 



Have a blessed day beautiful people. 

I am Fur Glory and i love and believe in you.

    Very beautiful write.
    Many people asked me lately why I don’t go to church any more, some blundly call me a pegan, atheist, etc just because I stopped going to church. This kind of attitude has radicalized me and made me understand we(Christian’s especially) don’t know who the true God is and what prayer is all about. Every Religion is a cultural understanding of who God is. Unfortunately for us Africans, Christianity is an imported religion I.e. isn’t our culture and thus, we’ll never understand who God is through it. Let’s be authentic (Africanised) and see God in one another not above one another .

    I just guess we either learn from our mistakes or persist in our stubborn ways, the society we've grown in has molded us with much we don't understand, and what we don't understand most at times we turn to assume. But the story inspired me enough.

Having a thick skin

  What you need is a thick skin" It has been 6 months since I officially got into the speaking or media world and I have realised that one of the biggest shields that is needed to grow and excell in the field is a thick skin.        Barely two weeks when i first came, i was dead shocked with the way work went for me, i even fell sick and I was just waiting for the first month of probation to end so i could quit and say "I tried for one month"😂😂. I spoke with a senior colleague and she said something that has accompanied me till date and will accompany me till I get to the Zenith of my career.   She said " all you need to develop and grow is a thick skin, put your mind and heart on your target and you'll get there." She shared some of her early experiences and I fed from her lessons.            It's is six months now and I'm grateful to share with you What I gathered from my amazing senior col...

THE POWER OF LOVE

Do you love yourself? Do you love your family? Do you love your work and your colleagues? Do you love your friends? How DEEP is your love?  ðŸ‘‰ Self-love Did you know that you are a complete representation of God, your creator? He made you out of love and saved you from sin out of love. He made you special and unique to serve him through loving yourself and humanity. You have a duty to love and cherish every part of your mind and body by feeding them both with only positive energies. Feeding them with all the love in your heart. You are perfect just the way you, you can give out love only after loving yourself.  👉 Love for family       How DEEP is your love for your family? The moment you realize that God is perfect in love and in all his doings, you will see that even those people in your family who have hurt you deserve God's love( yes, God's love because human love is too shallow), you will begin let go and forgive them even without their knowledge. Do t...

WHY WE ARE STILL FIGHTING

  WHY WE ARE STILL FIGHTING          Everything that exists does so for a specific purpose.  Everything that was created was created for a purpose . Everyone that is on the earth was created for a definite purpose.        You might need a reminder of what purpose means, it means the reason for creation. That is quite easy to understand i guess.          Just as the parts of the human body were made for different reasons,  human beings as a whole were born for specific purposes.  Everyone was created for a distinct purpose and living in accordance with this specific purpose will bring about ultimate personal fulfilment, sustainable growth and global peace.          Now here is why humanity keeps suffering from unrest and wars - we have not made out time to find the true reason for our being here. Have you found yours? - instead of working towards making our lives better, we ...
