Self Reflection

Great in the World's Eyes, But in God's?

A Noble Initiative:


A coordination party, themed "Global Development," aimed to foster harmony, cohesiveness, and collective responsibility among officials, leaders, scholars, and dignitaries from various countries. Exceptional participation from diverse nations was observed, with delegates from various levels in attendance.


A Reality Check:


However, the event revealed a stark contrast between outward appearances and true intentions. Some attendees:
- Indulged in flattery and sycophancy
- Boasted and mocked their peers
- Asserted dominance over juniors
- Engaged in gossip



Lost Focus:


Despite the noble theme, the party largely failed to achieve its purpose. Yet, most attendees approved of periodic repetitions, perpetuating a cycle of superficial unity. Over time, these gatherings became a symbol of the wealth gap, highlighting the disconnect between the elite and the struggling masses. Forgetting God grants authority, not for personal aggrandizement or exploitation, but for the betterment of humanity as the Bible verse (John 19:11) reminds us, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above."


Time for Reflection:


Let us utilize our lives to:
- Seek forgiveness for misusing authority
- Resolve to use authority wisely
- Demonstrate neighbourhood love and patriotism


Collective Responsibility:


If only officials, leaders, governments, and the public worldwide utilize their authority for humanity's benefit, eradicating evil through genuine leadership and responsibility, the globe will be better place to live.


A Sincere Prayer:


May we use authority responsibly, with accountability and neighbourhood love. Amen.


Take Away:


This article highlights the contrast between outward appearances and true intentions, emphasizing the need for genuine leadership and responsibility.


Amen!


Praise be to God, Thanks be to God.
