A GREATER VISION OF LIFE

By Rev. Fr. Gregory Ogbenika

It is always important to develop a greater vision about life, because a vision is the foretaste of what to expect, what to do and the result of which enable the realization of set goals and objectives.

This can be blurred by circumstances, conditions and situations around us, if we give way. If a vision must be realized, there is need for greater dynamism, dedication, planning and hard work which can foster growth and progress. There are a lot of circumstances around us that can endanger and block our determination to succeed, but we must not give up in the face of these myriads of mountains because people who consider themselves victims of their own circumstances, will always remain victims unless they develop a greater vision for their lives. We must always move with the tide of the time and realities, we must never give up, we must never look back, we must move on to strike the gold of life for a sparkle of light which brings hope, joy and redemption to the inner being of our souls.

This pave way for the deep consciousness of that future which is built on the mountain top where the radiance of innuendos do not pose a threat to the realization of our vision. Move on folks, for the deliberation on life attainment has just begun. Move on for the journey toward a brighter future has just begun. Move on for the realization of our dreams are not too far from where we are at the moment. Move on for the later part of today may turn out to be a surge in the wheel of progress. Move on for our tomorrow draws from the search and determination of yesterday. Move on for the sun will shine and the rain will fall on the steps we take today which will bring about the bumper harvest in the journey of life. Take a step with a leap of faith into the wilderness of life in order to hear the voice of the one who cares for us. Open your inner being to the promptings of the divine spark that serves as a catalyst to the opening of the corridors of light. A light that is unquenchable if followed to its final destination. Arriving at this final stop is determined by the determination of those who do not lose focus in their quest for meaning to life. A life that has a variance to its understanding depending on the perspective of consideration. For the ungodly, it has no meaning or direction. It is a plunge into the abyss of infinity without any hope of a future. But for those of us who are believers, a true vision of life begins with the originator of all creation. It is sustained through His power and might with His almighty positioning above all.

It comes to an end with a fulfilling posture of accomplishment that leads to inner joy that never ends.
