I know enough to understand that black and white photos can only indicate going back in time. I kept on dreaming our world in black and white no colours. Like an old Charlie Chaplin movie everything black and white no colours. The dreams are clear and the meaning is that we are going through repetitive thing in our existence as humanity. Racism, sexism, social injustice, the greed for power, and the list goes on. But the question is how well learnt are we? If nothing is new under the sun according to Ecclesiastes 1:9 “what has been will be again, what has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun.

Shame on us, Jesus life, death and resurrection has for some of us made a drastic change. Unless we are aware through a relationship with our Lord and saviour, we’ll always be in black and white. The rainbow has many colours like that of Joseph rob given to him by this father. The many colours signify the promise of God will to be fulfilled.

It’s time for us to draw nearer to God and come out of the dark, into the light. Don’t allow ignorance and self righteousness to make us fall short. The colours represents the many different beauty of the Lord, the unlimited wholeness of His love, mercy, compassion, forgiveness favours, for us all. The black and white is a limitation of our being. Dreaming black and white only means we have a lot of work to do.

Christians we have be the ones to set the stage for the coming of the Lord. It’s better we didn’t know than we know and choose to ignore the truth that has been set before us in His word and in our spirit. If we’re truly in a relationship with Him only then we’d know. He has never been far from us, at least not in the spirit.

If we are of God we should have the understanding of who God is. God is righteous and true, He may move in a mysterious ways to us, but never has He ever leave us thinking anything about His intentions for man is a conspiracy. Conspiracy theory: a belief that a group of people are secretly trying to harm someone or achieve something. You usually use this term to suggest that you think this is unlikely. Collins English Dictionary.

Isaiah 8:12 “ Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it.” Conspiracy is not of God, but the workings of the devil. God doesn’t conspire against humanity. In the garden of Eden is where the devil first infected humanity with conspiracy. Genesis 3:4-5 “ You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Conspiracy is what Satan convey about God in the garden with Adam and Eve to convince them to eat from the forbidden tree, God had told them they would surly die if they did eat, which is the very truth to his word. All those who’s in the world that are Christians like Adam and Eve, if you allow conspiracy theories to eat away at you or you, yourself is spreading conspiracy, you’ve got to understand it’s not from God. And like a drug you can get addicted to conspiracy theory leaving you paranoid and prone to anxiety. How could this be what God wants for us to go through.

One phone call that’s all it took to turn my world upside down. It’s been a while since I had contact with my granddaughter and given the chance, I took every advantage of the opportunity. I loved on her so much I didn’t want to let her go. It was so touching to my soul to see her all grown up and now a teenager, “thank you Lord!“ My granddaughter and her mother side of her family doesn’t believe in the Covid-19 vaccine and are not vaccinated. After spending the day with my granddaughter, I traveled back home feeling like I’ve just won the lottery. The next morning my husband received a important phone call from his boss informing him a Covid-19 breakout at the workplace and we all have to get tested. No ones allowed to return to work without being tested. Even though we’re double vaccinated we still have to be tested as to not spread the Covid to others who might not have received or refuse to have gotten the vaccine. You could just imagine my cry and my fear for my granddaughter who hasn’t yet been the vaccinated. I had spoken to her about the importance of getting the vaccine and it’s not a conspiracy. And look what’s now taking place.

The thought of having to back track to every place and person we were in contact with in the last few days, on a long weekend; everyone was out and about like us, travelling long distance. My greatest concern was for my granddaughter whom every moment I hugged and kiss on her, even shared my food with her from mouth to mouth, feeling so good because at least I am double vaccinated and take all necessary precautions to be safe to finally get to see and be around her. The thought of being responsible for her getting Covid was devastating to me.

I thought getting the vaccine would solve the pandemic wows where I was concerned. I was doing my part in making the word a better place not just for the sake of loved ones and myself, but for all of humanity, especially those for whatever the reason maybe can’t be vaccinated. But then it hit me as I entered into the testing center and saw the children and their parents of all nationalities, religions, languages, that we can’t be selfish this disease is affecting the entire world and it doesn’t discriminate. I began to weep and said “Lord have mercy on us all?”

I have spoken to someone who has chosen not to be vaccinated about my concerns for all of them who has chosen not to be. I told the person my fears of being some how responsible if I were to be the one to infect them with the virus how much it would bother me, as I definitely would feel hurt and responsible. As Jesus has spoken on the cross, “ forgive them father for they know not what they do!” It is with mercy, love and compassion as following Christ. If I were to not care about others as I do myself, then I would be breaking the very law of the kingdom. A kingdom I had chosen to be baptized and forsaken the things of world to be apart of, the devil is a liar to be and do otherwise. The person said to me, “if we choose not to be vaccinated then it’s really honestly on us, because we’re not going to be force to.” And I was filled with much sorrow, recognizing for the first time in my life how many times God himself must have been extending His merciful hands to us humans for our own well being and we fight against Him, with our ignorance, selfish righteousness and conspiracy theories.

Selfish, that what I would call anyone who thinks only of themselves. We live in a word that together we all have to come together and stand in times of need especially when it comes to something so serious as a pandemic that is affecting us all. Now is not the time for one man to be an Island all by themselves. Unity, it takes nothing but unity to overcome a giant like this pandemic. Being selfish is not helpful at all, it is one of the many lessons we all are learning from this pandemic.

I’ve realized as I’ve gotten older when Jesus said the second greatest commandment of God, “love your neighbour as yourself” is because we are like mirror images of one another with our strength and weaknesses, in other words our imperfections, which is self. Love is God image within us to make us unified as one with him. God is love!

I may not be able to convince anyone who chooses not to believe in God and that’s ok. Regardless if we believe in the existence of God doesn’t stop the divine from being. And I don’t believe just because when I die, I need a safe place to go or for my life to have meant something to someone or something. He’s always there just waiting for us to acknowledge His presence. His presence begins within us before we could discover Him on the outside. God existence is in the very breathe we take and show up in all of creation. Someone told me that they heard God and science is finally coming together. My response was “excuse me, if whoever they may be, understood truly who God is, they would know that God, himself created science, mathematics, geography, biology, physic, chemistry, quantum mechanics etc. It’s like saying God, man and the entire universe is finally getting together. They better just stop!” Man is the only one who’s finally coming together with the knowledge, wisdom and understanding of the reality, that God do truly exist.

Whenever we find God in the darkness of our live rather than the light we base our knowledge, wisdom and understanding of Him as our redeemer and that’s all He’s become in our lives. God become like currency for our lives, we use Him in exchange for favours, blessings and a sure ticket to heaven when we die. But God is more than that if you found Him in light of your life. And the light of your life means from in our mothers womb to birth, like Jesus in Bethlehem, He was God, and is our God. He wasn’t a transaction for favour in our lives, but rather He is our life. So whether we have it good or bad in our lives, no favours, He’s still God. God being part of our lives is reassurance that whether good or bad, we fear not of this life. His presence protection and care help us to navigate and live our best lives in this world and move on forward to our eternal home with Him.

How do I know this? That’s what Jesus did and was trying to teach us. Why else would he had come to live and die among us, besides for our redemption. Being one like us, has proven it’s not impossible for us to follow through the will of God in doing like he’d done and be like he has been. Jesus is the key for us all to get through to the other side, by following his example and him being the one to lead and guide us through it all. He has never left us nor forsaken us. This life is hard and he realized it in the garden of Gethsemane and when he was on the cross and asked why God had forsaken him, Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34.

Psalm 139 is one of the most powerful proof of God love for us. And who better than David to so eloquently wrote it, the man after God own heart. So it’s trustworthy as truth coming from David. He had an relationship with the Lord like no other, even to Abraham who was God friend. Whenever I read this Psalm I can’t help but to fall in love with God. It touches my soul and enlightens my spirit. If there’s any song of love I’d love to sing to our Lord it would be this Psalm. David written about the imperfections of man, yet God still loving us, “ if I ascend up into heaven thou art there, if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there” verse 8, and this we all are “ fearfully and wonderfully made” verse 14. This Psalm 139 speak to God for all us sinners to whom acknowledges our greatest love for our creator, the lover of our soul. Thanks You David for speaking on our behalf! “What a mighty and awesome God we have and willing to serve.”
