This June, may God open doors your CV, uncle and data bundles couldn't. May rent, debts and silent tears not bury your destiny. May God surprise every youth tired of “next week.” May every delayed answer arrive with interest. AMEN
You are not behind. You are in the most important building phase of your entire career and you have been convinced it should already be finished.
The comparison is killing you faster than the competition ever could.
This morning, I want to speak to someone who feels like giving up… someone who feels like life has become too heavy, too painful, and too unfair.
Someone who wants to take away their own life because everything around them feels unfair… like no matter how hard they try, nothing is working. Like life keeps choosing others and skipping them. Like the pain is too much to carry.
You may be at a point where you see no reason to keep going. Maybe you’ve lost your job, your family, your dreams… everything you worked so hard for. Maybe you feel forgotten, abandoned, or left behind while others around you seem to be thriving. It hurts. It’s overwhelming. And it can make you question your worth.
But please, don’t let this moment define your entire life.
You were created for a purpose. Your life has meaning even if you cannot see it right now. What you are going through is not the end of your story.
To the young person feeling pressured because others your age seem to have everything don’t measure your life by what you see. Not everything is as it appears. Material things can never be compared to the value of your life. Don’t let comparison push you into depression or bad decisions. Your journey is different, and your time will come.
To the one who slept hungry, who was locked out, who feels abandoned by everyone this is not your final chapter. It may feel like doors have closed, but God can open new ones in ways you never imagined. Hold on.
To the one struggling at work, feeling oppressed and frustrated don’t give up. Sometimes the hardest seasons are shaping you, strengthening you, and preparing you for something greater.
Ending your life is not a solution. It only silences a story that is still being written.
Instead, hold on. Pray. Cry if you must, but don’t quit. Even in silence, even in pain, God hears you. Even in your lowest moment, He has not forgotten you.
You may not understand why you are going through this but one day, you will look back and see that this pain was not in vain.
Don’t lose hope. Don’t give up.
Your life matters. Your story matters. And your best days are still ahead.
Artemis II is on its way home after traveling around the Moon!
You’ve seen the incredible images, but this mission was so much more. It laid the foundation for future Moon and Mars exploration.
Here’s the science performed during their journey. 🧵 (THREAD)
WALK AWAY:
1. After dealing with an inconsistent person for so long, you don't want to lose them, but you WALK AWAY because you don't want to lose IT.
2. If a person disrespects you, no matter how much you love them ,you should not let them dishonor you repeatedly. Know when to WALK AWAY.
3. There are times when maintaining your integrity means holding your tongue, and there are some battles God didn't ordain. Silently WALK AWAY.
4. There is always a time when you have to be courageous enough to WALK AWAY from nonsense. That time is NOW.
5. Instead of allowing an argument to break out... sometimes you have to WALK AWAY, trust God, and just pray about it.
6. Sometimes it's best to WALK AWAY from confrontation & dismiss it. It's better to bow out, than have a blow out. Let it go!
7. There are times when you can't WALK AWAY or just ignore it. Sometimes you have to defend yourself! Pray for wisdom to know when.
8. Real men WALK AWAY from unnecessary conflicts. Cowards run away from all
conflict.
9. If you haven't done everything you can to make it work and you WALK AWAY...it's official... you're a quitter.
10. Some conversations aren't worth your time. Don't talk away, WALK AWAY.
Stop telling your parents what your plans and ideas. They get excited and discuss them with friends and relatives and it’s never good idea. Normalize lying to them until those plans have come to mature.
