Next Time,Please Be Careful

All of us come from somewhere.We have our roots.Remember those days how our parents whipped us and disciplined us?Remember how sometimes we were denied food(depending on ur parents)?Some of us were shunned from visiting aunts and uncles in the city,whereas others were denied the pleasure of that school trip just because we misbehaved.From that,we would promise to never repeat the mistakes done,to be careful next time.Yes,we learned our lessons.

Allow me pose a question here,Who disciplines or moulds grown men and women character?the Swahili people will tell me"asiye funzwa na mamake,hufunzwa na ulimwengu"which when loosely translated means,if you are not chastised by your mother/parents,the world will teach you proper lessons.It is human to make mistakes,but then...what is the action plan once we mess up or step on peoples toes?Better still,who can help us sort the issue and get us back standing without condemning us?Biblically,there are men and women who loved the lord genuinely,served God with reverence,some like Moses could speak to God as a man speaks to his friend but besides that,they had their own weaknesses,sin was inevitable to them.The beauty of these guys is that they had a teachable spirit.They listened to their mentors.Moses listened to Jethro and he got help.David listened to Nathan and he was helped. Infact,the bible records  that Nathan REBUKED David(2sam 12;7).

How many of us endure rebuke?Ho many of us listen to our mentors?Do we even have people to help us in our walk with God or even in our character?May God help us.

This piece may not be pleasant to all of us,but then...how will some people learn unless they are told?

Apparently people have become so much insensitive to others.People have become selfish unconsciously.People have lost tenderness on others...the verse of do to others what you would wish them do to you left  their minds long time ago.Well,people have expectations of others but before you open your mouth to discuss or even make a joke in regards to peoples issues,kindly be sensitive.

You will never know the pain people go through until you have graduated to a level whereby they can confide in you,and even then,you wont comprehend.For those people who always keep on asking married ladies when the kids are coming eh and you know how we do it jokingly"mnatuweka sana?,tunataka kuitwa aunty/uncle"...(You guys are keeping us waiting for long,when are the kids coming)?If you are one person with such a habit,i beseech you by the mercies of God to drop it.Who made you a watchman of peoples marital affairs?Did you know that before you even went on  with your questions you left a heart paining?Kindly let people be.Some have struggled in that area,prayed and before they pray,they prayed even more.That is their area of weakness because its like the heavens are shut for them. so please,next time if you feel like making such a joke,please be careful.

There are men who are used to making fun of others.Perhaps when they are out with the 'boys',you will hear one ask,"boss,kwani we hushoot blanks"(you mean you cant make a lady pregnant?).......Well,a guy will gather all his strength,struggle to smile over that question as if its any funny but in his own closet,hes a broken man,His ego has been greatly bruised.Who are you to cause people pain?Who gave you that mandate my brother?will you be careful next time?

People have different tastes and preferences.Some of us are slender,like myself and am happy about it..infact got no apologies for that.Others are plus sized.The bible says we are fearfully and wonderfully made...Isaiah tells me that we are precious in his sight...oh, how he longs to be gracious to us.Some of us have purposed to hurt others based on their sizes..you will hear them calling us 1GB,oh this oh that..If you have an issue with plus sized people,please let them be and move forward.its a free world.Did you know how much they struggle even in getting clothes that can comfortably fit them?Do you have a hint of how some have tried detox,exercise and probably because its genetic nothing changes?Did you know how some of us (1GBs) face the agony of high-schoolboys harassing us  thinking that we are their colleagues on the streets yet we are  grown women?Next time before you spit that bile over someone,please consider.Will you be careful?

All said and done,purpose to pray for others..you feel someone has taken long to get a spouse,pray for them.you feel someone is taking ages to bring forth a generation,pray for them..you feel someone is stagnating in career or in any other area,pray for them and love them the more because its only in love,that we shall be known to be Christs disciples and behold,there are blessings that come to us when we pray for others...(job 42;10)

This piece is done in love,love you all my readers
