Hmmmmm...Deep!!!
''The past few days have got me rethinking and reflecting on life in a totally new dimension. I looked at myself, looked at life and everything and it hits me so hard that life is so vain. No wonder it is so easy for us to exist in another day as if yesterday didn't happen. Lóòótọ́, everybody knows that ayé ó lọ bí ọ̀pá ìbọn, ìgbà ó lọ bí òréré, bíntí láyé, but how often do we remember these words and act accordingly every waking day?
My understanding of life has hit differently during this short period. Ah! Ó má da kí ènìyàn l'àròjinlẹ̀ o. If one is thoughtful, one will see the irony of life so glaringly. Life is a such a temporary space, but we keep chasing after things that are here today, but gone tomorrow hoping we can make them permanent. Who are we? ènìyàn lásán who cannot even predict what will happen today talk more of tomorrow?
We plan six months as if tomorrow is promised. My dears, ayé ni àdììtú tí Olódùmarè fi ju ẹ̀dá lọ. We make plans but only God can bring it to pass. So, I asked myself, Oluwatoyin, why are you chasing shadows when God is the one that holds your life?
This is one thing I've come to realise, not everything that glitters is gold and there is no forever in affluence because the truth is, kò sì ẹni tó lè ra ayé gbé. I have found my peace in knowing that whatever God has destined to be mine will be mine 'cos at the end of the day, only God truly has the control.
Dear #ToyinTitans, life is so ordinary, it is how we live that makes it extraordinary. Live purposefully''.
Well said Toyin! Tomorrow isn't promised,so make the best of today and be in right standing with God🙏
ReplyDeleteI said yday. With this happenings , we still have pple carrying others in mind. What happens if u drop dead today knowing you r not at peace with pple are u? Just a question o
DeleteTalk is cheap and change start from you. I’m not being a Downer but hopes she practice what she wrote and makeup with all the people that she has differences with.

ReplyDeleteWord.
ReplyDeleteIf we can always have this in mind.
With all the happenings, one needs to reflect on his/her life. Seeing and hearing the mighty/ies falling everyday is enough to embrace Jesus more. God help me to always acknowledge You in everything I do. Imela Chim oma.
ReplyDeleteVery deep
ReplyDeleteI try to live a very simple life
I try not to take things to heart... though am still trying to forgive my father after so many years
Life is really not worth the stress
Be good..Be kind...Show love to one another
Yeah... Fact
ReplyDeleteLife is truly ordinary.
ReplyDeleteIBUDUN for instance chose to live an extra ordinary life and will forever be remembered by the life she touched, her warmth and passion, her footprints live on. SDK for instance has been touching lives here and beyond too with her humanitarian and considerate nature (a blogger with a difference). I love and pray for you SDK and bvs.
Toyin, I'm with you on that deep reflection. Tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone.
This hit me so hard😥... especially cos I lost a close friend yesterday 😭😭
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your loss.
DeleteMay he/she find peace with God. Amen.
Take heart.
Really sorry 😞
DeleteI pray for God's peace upon you .
I'm sorry. May the departed rest in peace. May all of you be comforted. 🤗🤗🤗
DeleteThe next nano second,second,minute,hour,day,week,month,year is not guaranteed for any human. Life is just there,really I don't even know if I'm the next person that will "drop".
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm
❤
Good words. Reflection
ReplyDeleteWords are deep and so true.. Who are we without God. Let the will of God be done in our lives, Lord I'm so grateful for you are. Olisa bin'eligwe I salute you
ReplyDeleteTrue.
ReplyDeleteThe only change I’m so proud of myself for making these days is the way Im striving to get closer to God. And so far It’s going great, won’t even lie.
It is not enough to talk. A commitment to doing is everything. By next week, people would have gone back to their normal way of life. Life, oh life is indeed a test.
ReplyDeleteMay God give me the grace to strive daily with him and him alone.
ReplyDeleteLife is fleeting and nothing is assured except for the love of christ.
Heaven should be our only hope and destination.
Deep words!

Igba olobi orere,Aye olo bi opa ibon.....life is not eternal
Bin tin laye.....life span of life is short
OMA da ki eniyan ni aro'jinle....it's good for one to think deeply
Eniyan lasan....we're just human
Aye ni aditu ti olorun fi ju EDA lo.....the fact that God created earth and human,and the fact that only he know when very human will die is why he is greater than everyone.
Kosi eni ti ole ra aye GBE....nobody can buy life,no matter how wealthy you are.

ReplyDelete👌,I wrote about same thing on my Facebook page yesterday.I have been reading a lot about late Ibidunni,she was indeed a perfect example of love your neighbor as yourself, everyone had something good and nice to say about her,it inspired me greatly.
ReplyDeleteI'm a simple person and I find the greatest pleasure when I help people around me.
What is life tho? This life is so fickle.
All your achievements, qualifications,riches,cars,dresses etc are useless when you die and leave this earth.Then why do we try so much to acquire them?🤔
Nothing scares me like ending up in hell.
Same here.. Spending eternity in hell is so scary. Lord please let me make it home with you.
Deleteyour comment is the truth .
