Justice

I was just contemplating a situation recently.

If I was not to believe in God life would just be unfair and truly unbearable.

Lets check this out for just a minute
"Why does a child die every four seconds due to a lack of basic needs, when in the western world we have a epidermic called obesity that means we are seeing more children severely overweight, how is that fair?"


"Working family face financial ruin because of no fault of their own other than trusting in government and banks to do the morally thing and do what was right, how is that fair?"


"Young boys and girls are on a daily basis being abused by the very people that should be taking care of them, these kids never asked to be born, you can't tell me this is fair!?


I could go on and on and on with examples of injustice, but I am not writing this from the point of view of complaining about life injustice. I want to come from the angle to ask the question if you don't believe that one day every one will be judged how do you cope???


Seriously! I am a believer in Jesus and so believe that all of us one day will be judged for our actions. Both those that are evident to all and those things that we do in secret. 


I remember being in church once and the preacher said "what if following you around was a video screen that showed every one what you have done and what you was doing". Challenging right that really convicted me to know that God see all things even those things we think are secret and he see all that has been done to us. 


This make you check yourself to say look I need to fix up sharp but also it stops you from being overly judgmental of others. I say this many times I want to complain about other people but then I review my day and I then have to keep quite as I know I have been far from perfect. 


But lets also be real. I can get ticked off when I see injustice like some of the things that I mentioned earlier. But I am comforted when I know that even though at times murderers, abusers, bullies and oppressors seemed to get away with blue murder I know that it will only be for a time. One day they will have to answer to God like I will and account for everything that they have done.


So I leave you with to things 


If like me you get frustrated with injustice know that God knows and sees everything. 
Second, remember you will also be judged so make your right before you meet our maker.


Bless

Sacrifice

If you want to achieve you got to SACRIFICE. 

We all know that right! We hear business people all the time state that they SACRIFICED sleep, time and finances to build their business.

We hear of sports stars that SACRIFICE  their time, socialising everything to become the best in their in their field.

So the understanding of SACRIFICE is not new to any of us. We all know that to achieve something we might have to give up something.

I want to share something with the world in relation to my kids. I have some beautiful children and I always wanted to be a great father from a early age. Due to my past I was determined not to repeat thing that happen in my life in the life of my kids. 

But there was a major problem I never understood to have a great relationship with my kids was going to take more than a great desire. It was going to take the same action that sports stars, business owners make SACRIFICE. 

My kids want to play with me. "Dad, dad can we play fight", "Dad, dad can we play lego", "Dad, dad can I read to you", "Dad, dad can you come to my play"? 

What was my answer! For years I would give this answer. 

"Later kids, Daddy busy", "Can we play tomorrow" 

Now these responses where plausible, I was busy building a future for my kids. (HOUSE, SECURITY ETC) 

But something began to ring home and hit when my kids said "Your always working", "you never play with us" 

WOW!!!! I realised that what my kids where saying was you never spend time with us. 

Right! Time for change!!!

Unfortunately my life because I have decided to spend time with my kids was not going to get less busy. The difference was going to SACRIFICE. 

Firstly I had stop being SELFISH, it was not about me but about my KIDS

Secondly I realised I had to become dedicated to them (QUANTITY as well as QUALITY) 

Thirdly I had to accept that I had to SACRIFICE what was important to me to want was important to THEM (Kickboxing, lego, doctors and nurses whatever) 

I can say of late my kids get more time with their FATHER and I am reaping the rewards. But it came at a cost but it been worth everything I had to give up. 

So if your prepared to give all to your business, career, make sure that you apply that same SACRIFICIAL mentality to what's really important (FRIENDS, KIDS, WIFE, PARTNER & FAMILY) 

Bless

Remember "God gift to us is life, what we do with that life is out gift back to God" 

Focus, focus, focus

Been a long time since I have written on my blog.

Wanted to share we you why. LACK OF FOCUS.

One of my problems is my mind is full of ideas and things that I must do. Which in one sense is great because  I always see opportunities, but on the other hand can be a curse.

The reason that I say that is because I can become so excited about every idea that come into my head that I forget the to complete the idea I started yesterday. What then can happen is you get lots of great potential ideas that amount to nothing.
This happens to me, I get presented with a idea and my character is yes lets do it. But what I am learning is I have to learn to say NO. Even to good causes that might be worthwhile, because DISTRACTION is the root of much FAILURE.

My daughter has a saying "Dad, you must manage your DISTRACTIONS" and she is 100% right. Learn to complete your first task then move onto the next.

So going back to my title I require FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS

That includes staying on top of my blog.

Bless people
