Hello to you all,
it’s been a minute, a year to be precise, wow, a lot has happened in the past year. Even though I have not posted for the past year, I can tell you God has been so good in all ramifications, and I thank God for my humbling experience in the past year; I have been doing a lot of growing up(socially, spiritually and career wise), and taking some momentous steps in my life.
I don’t want to say too much, but for the sake of hitting the nail right in the head, the purpose of this blog post is “GRACE”. Just to put a little disclaimer out here; I’m not about to preach, neither is my blog a “spiritual nor religious blog, but I’m palpably not gonna recuse my faith from my blog posts. Grace as defined by dictionary; “a simple elegance or refinement of movement, (In christian belief) the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in salvation of sinners and bestowal of blessings’. We are CHOSEN by grace, not by qualifications. if we live by the wage of our efforts, then most of us wouldn’t be enjoying the “Unmerited favor” we delight in right now.
A lot of us need to change how we relate with God, we’ve been relating with Him on a wage level, meaning that we relate with God on a “9-to-5 level or boss-to-staff level; we’ve created this system subconsciously because that’s how we live our live day-to-day. We expect to get paid for what we work for; ‘wage per hour’,when there are some jobs that still pays you whether you showed up at work or not. “But unto each one of us grace is given as Christ apportioned it” - Ephesians 4:7, GRACE is made available but until you create an entirely different type of system with God by getting closer and seeking first God’s kingdom and his will; “But seek ye first the kingdom of god and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” -Matthew 6:33 you can’t really enjoy grace as you should, it’s like asking a stranger to loan you some money, someone you’ve never talked to or related to in any form prior asking for favor, we both know the answer you’d get from such person. But if you asked a family member for a loan, depending how close you are to such person, they might not even bother asking you to return the loan, some might even tell you to keep the money;building a relationship is as literal as that! Everything I’ve experienced this year in my finances and career to love life, it’s been grace!
I don’t want to go deep into the topic as I personally am learning myself, besides I’m just sharing where I am in my growth with God and my relationship with other people. I hope someone gets an understanding from this, share your grace story or what grace means to you in the comment section, lets “relate” and let’s grow together.
I know I haven’t been consistent when it comes to blogging, but know that where consistency fails, persistence comes through. The main feature of my style in this post is the Black Aviator jacket I have on, I’ve gotten a lot of compliment on the jacket since i got it, and when people find out how much I got is for, they are shocked because of the quality. I got this jacket from a London store called PRIMARK, I learnt that they just came to the United States, 5 years ago; Zara quality for way cheaper price even half of H&M value, awesome right?! not a lot of people know of the store yet, and I’m guess that’s because they aren’t everywhere yet. if you are in New York, you can visit their new store at Kings Plaza.
