Experiences of life, chapter 3

Many years ago, when I was doing grade 7, God compelled me to pen something that has remained in my mind until this day. I was a child, but I had a very clear revelation that came to my spirit. I didn’t know that God was literally preparing me to write this story (chapter) today.

 It took me years and years, and that is why I always tell people who are close to me that God’s designed time is the best. I remember using my 3310 Nokia phone to write down everything that popped into my mind.

The Nokia 3310 didn’t have software such as Microsoft Office, but to be precise, that day I used SMS Passage or Folder to write an article. The article was so long, and my writing skills and grammar were very poor. And I wrote down: “Life is like a movie, and every part of the movie has a star, and stars don’t die or lose their sparkle in every part of the movie.”

 In life, you have the right to determine who should direct you in this movie, which I refer to as life.  And I wrote down: “Life is like a book with many chapters, but we don’t know how many chapters we are left with. And our Lord Jesus Christ is the author of our book (referring to life); only he knows how many chapters we are left with...” I wrote a lot of articles but this one has never ever slipped my mind.

 And sometimes when I think about it, I become very emotional because I was still a child. It is significant to know if you are a star or a typical person in this life. Consider yourself and your worth. When your life is directed by God, you’ll find yourself sleeping right through the storm. You’ll find yourself praising God in the middle of nowhere, because it’s no longer you living in the body, but Christ living in you. You are no longer in charge of your life because God is now in charge. 

Enjoy every chapter by bringing happiness to your family, neighbors, colleagues, and friends. I don’t know a lot about you, but I perceive that you are a star, brightened by the glory of God. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise or the opposite. God wonderfully and fearfully created you to be his vessel. When a person reads a book, he normally skips every page he reads and focuses on the next page (next chapter). 

Be encouraged by focusing more on what the next chapter of your life holds than on your past. To make things easier, God is asking you to be part of his family and to be part of the movie that he has designed. He is asking you to trust him as the director of your life, and remember, stars don’t die because a movie should continue.
