We will all get there no matter the distance..
I Went to First Bank e-bank hall few hours ago.
As I was about entering the hall, a lady ran ahead
of me and pushed me away, so she could quickly
join the long queue before I will get to the queue.
I did not say anything. She thought I will queue
up behind her, but I was actually not there to
withdraw, I came to deposit. So I walked to the
deposit machine and I was the only one there. No
single person on the queue. When I finished
depositing, I was about leaving the hall, when the
lady came from the queue and apologized to me
for pushing me away the other time. With sorry
smile on her face; she said
'I am sorry for pushing you away, I thought you
were coming to the queue'
I just smiled and told her not to bother, that it is
not a big deal.
But since then, the lesson in this story kept
coming to my mind, and I felt I should share it for
us all to learn from it.
Friend, who are you 'pushing' away and trying to
outrun in the race of destiny, relationship,
business, ministry, career,etc? You are thinking
you are going to the same 'queue' (destination)
unknown to you that, though your path may look
alike, your destinations are different!
How many people have had to say 'sorry' to
those they pushed aside, pushed away, pushed
down when they finally realized that the person
was not actually going to the 'withdrawal
machine' they were running to.
Are you reading this and you are pushing people
away here and there by slandering them,
hindering their progress, blocking their promotion,
spoiling their good names through lies and rumor
all in a bid to 'get there' before them. I challenge
you today, to take it easy. You might not be
going to the same destination. It might surprise
you later that, with all the pushing away you are
doing, they may still leave you on the 'queue' of
destiny later and they will be successful before
you.
Finally, are you reading this and you can feel
people in your school, office, ministry, business,
etc pushing you away so that they can get ahead
of you? Don't worry, God will use your case to
prove to them that, 'it is not of him who runs,
but of the Lord that shows mercy...'
(Romans 9:16). He will show you mercy and give
you an overtaking speed and those who are
pushing you here and there will later come and
tell you they are sorry.
Please, don't push anybody. You might meet on
the same path, but you might not be going to the
same 'machine' (destination).
