The cute face, the curly hair, the tender cry, the soft and smooth skin, the fragrance of all sorts of lotion and powder.
Those cute little clothes that fit just perfectly fine.
There were no teeth. All that was there was the gum from which the teeth would protrude. Regardless, the smile still radiated life and beauty.
The ever kicking legs and ever folded palms.
The regular sleep hours, always at intervals.
The ever feeding one, the one ever smiling from sleep.
The strange language of which no one understood. Yet, communication occurred.
All these perfectly describes the early stage of your life. It was infancy period!
Tick Tock! Tick Tock! Tick Tock! How fast time passed.
Alas, it's toddlerhood stage.
Infancy stage is all past tense.
Learning to navigate the environment and learning to walk started, improving communication skills also started, developing social skills also started.
Turned out, all of these acts into maturity was inculcated.
And then again, tick tock! tick tock! It's early childhood O' clock!
The school rhymes, the tasty snacks, the books, the colourful paintings from the books, the excursions, the holidays, the games you played with kids around your age.
The habits you carefully learned from mum and dad and mimicked.
Those times were amazing!
Tick Tock! Time didn't stop.
Middle childhood O' clock.
Growth is more evident now. The language is no longer strange. As expected, you began to speak the language you learnt from family.
At that stage, you knew which was the shoe for the left leg from that which was for the right.
Yes, the fun was still there. But then, you'd rather enjoy the company of the TV, watching your favourite TV shows.
Tick Tock! It's pre adolescence O' clock.
All female secondary sexual characteristics are now so obvious. You hit puberty!
The weird yet amazing feelings towards that particular person started. You called it "crush."
In your head, you're an adult already.
Mum and dad shouldn't treat you like a child anymore, you'd say.
You'd rather be on the bed in your room chatting with folks than have dinner with family.
Those playful times passed. You're now more reserved.
The distractions started creeping in one after the other.
The boys won't stop winking.
The boys won't stop buying you gifts.
The boys won't stop offering to help carry your bag.
The boys won't stop competing with each other to see who you'd pick amongst them.
The boys! The boys! The boys!
There's a whole lot about the boys!
Some things you'd rather keep to yourself. They are your little secret, and most of them are about the boys in class, the girls that pressured you, the school assessment you didn't do well because you were not attentive in class, and so on.
"Life is good", you thought. "I can do as I please" , "I can handle this". You constantly said that to yourself.
Tick Tock!
What?! You're now a young adult?!
All those years passed already?
Yes, dear. All passed already like they never even happened.
You wonder, "how did I turn out this way?" , "what did I do in all those years? , "of what value is my existence?" , "why is life so hard?" , "my friends are doing big things and I'm just here, stuck!" , "what's the next thing from here?" , "what does life have in store for me?" , "what is tomorrow about? What will it be like?"
You ruminate over these over and over again and the end result is always no clue, it's always no idea, it's always confusion.
All those times you chilled with the big girls and went clubbing all night were supposed to be times where you build up capacity for destiny and build up your relationship with the One who wrote the script of your life - God.
All those times you skipped school for the cinema could have been used to acquire knowledge and help you do well in assessments, tests, and examinations.
You didn't follow Him from the onset, probably due to the kind of environment, family or society you found yourself. You probably even thought "I've got no time for God, I'm so living my best life right now!"
Or can we conclude that you were ignorant? Even so, all these made you write a script different from the one God originally had for you.
Dear woman, it is not too late.
Yes, you've wasted a big chunk of your life but can I tell you that there's One who is able to compress time and give you speed to recover all you've lost?
Sounds unbelievable? Yes, I know. But you had better believe it.
Grace has found you, and you had better make use of it.
There is something written about you in the volume of the books, dear woman. You have a purpose here on earth, destiny calls!
I introduce you to the One who has a good plan for your life and can help you restructure your life to the original script He wrote for you.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
He is Jesus.
Jeremiah 1:5
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
He wrote about you before the beginning of time.
You will never find yourself outside of Christ.
So, I introduce Him to you today.
You can stop blaming yourself now.
You can stop saying "I could have done better "
You can now say, "Lord Jesus, I make you my Lord and Saviour. Forgive me my sins and make me your own. Help me live according to the volume of the books as it is written of me. Amen"
That's it! Can you scream I'm free!
Say it so loud that the devil knows he has lost you to Jesus for life!
At receiving Him, the Holy Spirit abides in you and begins to teach you the will of the Father and reveal to you the hidden things, and make known to you His purpose for your life.
Happy journeying with the Lord!
You're always loved by God! Your worth is far above rubies.
