I Knew I Would Write... (3)

•  Recently,  I was privileged to be at one of our General hospitals and some of the things I saw were quite humbling indeed. From the forlorn hope of finding the cure to loved ones' illnesses to the helpless looks on patients' faces, some even looking lifeless with a bleak assurance of their pulling through and at the mercy of the physicians. A little girl of about twelve later died after been involved in an accident. I figured it could have been from where she had gone to hawk stuff -It was just a plain harrowing experience!   I was angry and disappointed at her guardians for asking her to do that and have now put her at such great risk and now, death. As I looked at the mother trying to express in her own way the agony of losing a child, I wondered how fickle, transient- constantly fleeting this life is. I may not fully understand what the family has had to go through that brought about the decision to hawk stuff, but this one thing I do know: LIFE IS VERY HARD!  And the nothingness in and of it ought to daily point us to the need to pursue one that is far better than this one! 

#... all the adversity and suffering in the world is an echo and a witness of the exceedingly great evil of moral depravity in the heart of mankind; and every new day of life is a God- given, merciful reprieve from imminent judgement, pointing to repentance - Romans 8: 35- 36, Romans 2:4, 2 Corinthians 5:11 Selah#

• Some of those (GOVERNMENT) hospital workers who lack the sense of urgency, importance and place no value on human lives and in turn, further delay the quick response of accident and emergency victims, ought to be sacked and never made to come near such environments as workers. Plain simple!!

#very miffed!#

• It was tragic when on our way out of the hospital later that night, to behold ladies and men of easy virtue  parading themselves half naked. Now, without any visible health condition that allow for showing privates without 'consent', these people place their bodies for sale! It wasn't the first time I'll behold night workers but for the rude distraction of coming out from that helpless environment albeit a hospital to this seemingly self -willed destruction!  Phew!  May I submit at this point, that if you have been saved by the Lord Jesus, the gift of salvation is enough to bask in!...

# I know that being dead to sin means that we are morally incapable of submitting to God or to please Him because the pleasures of sin appear greater than the pleasures of God#
