Stay. Bloom where you are. Stop hesitating. Believe and you will grow.
Let me share to you the following.
There once was a lad, who in her youth, explored the world and thought she has all the time in her midst.
She boasted her abilities and took pride of her accomplishments. She talked more and did more for herself than for the family she serves. Instead of caring for them she thought more of her welfare, prioritizing her needs.
Time came when she was hit by realizations. She was awakened. She was reminded that what she's been doing so far was wrong. But then she continued with her ways until such time mountains of negativities struck her and her family.
She started to question the meaning of her life. Her existence. She started to hear herself and when she listened to the deeper voice within her, she heard the conviction: All she has done so far is more of self glorification than serving her parents, brothers and sisters and her family.
Out of desire to change, she faithfully searched for her salvation, going from place to place. She desperately searched for her answer.
Incidentally, she came across what she knew would change her life forever. That something was so powerful enough to move her from her current position to her aspired transformation.
Then and there she believed and stayed with her faith.
Currently she has so many aspirations for her family to change and believe like she did.
She rebuked her sinful ways and she always made it a point to battle with sin and not backslide to her old days.
Before, she was so full of her self but now she is faithful in serving her family.
Her house is clean and tidy. Her tongue speaks pleasantly. Her hands, gentle and calming, her knowledge she shared to everyone who sincerely sought for it.
She felt contented. In contrast to feeling impostorism before. True she had lots of glorious moments but people are jealous and never blessed her. Now they are all amazed at her makeover that they wanted to be like her--changed and converted.
Such is a life that we must emulate. We believe, we stay, we allow ourselves to be convicted, converted, be obedient, consecrated, and consummated.
Going back and forth and being indecisive will steal our time. When we stay, we allow ourselves to bloom and not run away from our calling.
When we're committed we have a clear goal to attain and we will do well not only for ourselves but also for our family.
And so we stay. We stay and bloom where we are. And inspire people to see the real truth.
