Life,in its living through all the varying phases presented to humanity, is like an anthology of poetry with diverse themes and symbols. Until you purpose to diligently flip through the pages to find what is held on each page for you, they will forever remain unknown to you.
Parallel is what my yesterday is to my today because they would never meet at any given point. Before I flipped to this phase of my existence, I lived always with the thought that the brightest light was that which was ahead of me. This was the case until I flipped to experience what this other side looked like.
I lived twenty-five years of my life with a daily aim of reaching the top. I constantly worked hard in in every way so that I could win against the systemsin control. I read almost every book that aimed at strategies for becoming wealthy, and I watched every movie that I thought would help me reach for the pinnacle.
I graduated with twelve ones aggregating a grade six from the Junior Secondary School. After that, I got admission into one of the grade ‘A’ Senior Secondary Schools in the country. There also, I worked very hard to achieve the best result ever in the School at the time. That won for me a full scholarship into the University.
All this while at the university, I started a business. I basically got for people whatever they wanted. My business client went beyond persons who needed books, those that neededdomestic appliances, as well as travel documents. I made so much money than I could’ve ever imagined. I had all the fun in the world, and I had no time for my studies.
Now, there was always something to do that would bring money to my pocket. Business was booming and I was a political kingpin within the student politics enclaves. I had almost all the big boys heeding to my call. At this time paid for my assignments to be done on my behalf. I had not friends but sycophants who never loved or respected me.
This phase continued for a very long while until I completed my university education. The greatest fun I thought I had by then, was on my graduation day. This is was a day I had all the fun with the big boys. There was food, drinks and enough girls for the party all into the night. The paradox of thatday was in the night when sadness dawned on me because I will be parting with that company.
This was the time I started feeling there was a hollow space in my heart, an emptiness in my being and I remembered how fallowed my life had been. I drank myself a river. My last wish was death, for I found lifelessness in my life and its living.
In my lifeless drunk emptiness, I saw a light shine so bright that my eyes could not fathom. In my resurrection, Susan was there with me at the university hospital. I never knew her until our meeting at the hospital. She introduced me to a family but later told me she was an orphan.
However, after meeting this family, my life has never been the same. They led me to the Head “Jesus Christ”, I received Him as my Head, my Lord and Saviour. In return, He has given me a new life and the fullest of it in every way. He placed in me a beacon of hope in faith, that wherever I go, I find love. This page has made me whole.
