TRUST

By Kelsik

TRUST

“I just can’t believe that it was you all this time around. How could you do such a thing to me? You have betrayed me. You have let me down!” These could be the words of a man whose heart and trust have been broken by someone he/she trusted. Let us face it, it is hard to come to terms with the reality that the person we trusted with all we had betrayed us. In many cases, people we trust are the ones that betray us or let us down. Look at Peter who was the closest person to Jesus let him down by denying him, Judas plotted against him and handed him over his enemies, spouses cheating on their partners, husbands defiling their baby girls, leaders fails to fulfill their promises they made to their followers, men of God lying to their sheep’s. All these shows us that trust is always broken by the people who were suppose to protect and cover us.

Cursed is a man who puts his trust in a man. Why is it so? Because men are, evil and they are filled with selfish ambitions and desires. When we put our trust in a man, I believe we do that at our own risk because we do not really know if the person is not going to betray us. Telling a secret to a friend be sure that there is a possibility that he/she might not keep the secret. Most of betrays are done out of selfishness, covetousness and sometime fear but the reasons do not really matter. Betrayal is betrayal.

One more question, is it always true that people we cover their mess up trying to protect them. Can they do the same to us if we were in their shoes? My opinion is no. Not all will and you will start thinking of all the things you have done to protect the friend sometimes risking yourself for them to be free but here they are, failing to give back what they got from you.

Now the question is should we stop trusting people? NO! The only thing I am saying is that, we should just be very careful with people we trust because there are times when we cannot even trust ourselves and we need somebody to trust. Always remember that a heart of a man is desperately wicked and beyond cure. Nevertheless, we still need someone we can trust but just be conscience and careful with people we trust and be ready to face the consequences if the person does otherwise.

A Brood Of Unprincipled Leaders

By Kelsik
Leadership isn’t the most important thing. It is everything to success. Nations and tribes rise and fall with leadership. Economic, social, and spiritual development and growth all hinge on leadership. How far the nation can go depends on leadership. How generous and wicked a people can depend on leadership Personal development depends also on how one governs and leads his or her life. There will not be progress or regression without the presence of leadership. Change can't happen without leadership. People can complain about bad economic and social conditions all they want, but they will never change for the better without the presence of a good leader.   "A group of ships led by a lion will always defeat an army of lions led by a sheep". From this quote, it can be concluded that with leadership comes everything. The vision, attitude, and character of a leader will determine where the followers will end up. How the followers behave is a direct replication of how th...

keep it if you have it but never lose it

By Kelsik
Who in the world does not need it? Presidents, heroes, slaves, pastors, me, you, everybody needs it unless if you are an alien in this part of the living called Earth. This thing makes a person to be complete. Without it, man will always remain incomplete. No wonder we have real cases in our world where by people go beyond the extremes in search for it. Some use magic, prayers, money, lies and power. Some become stupid, fools, idiots and some even kill just for that little thing that man cannot do without. When man fails to get it, what awaits him/her is some creature that wears different ugly faces. Some kill them safes, go mad or become serial killers in short man becomes something else that is completely different from himself/herself. What do you think is the thing I am talking about? I am talking about “LOVE”. People I know like my mother, my uncle, my beloved aunt Mercy, my girlfriend and friends have made sacrifices for me and all the sacrifices were done in the name of love...
