This Is Not the End

This is not the finish! Things will certainly get back to normal and in many cases better before you think. No situation stays permanent. It will soon expire. What we all need now’s patience, courage and perseverance to traverse this trying period. Yes, the actual pandemic and also the other challenges have brought global chaos with all the fear from the social and economic meltdown that may follow, or has now started with all the loss of an incredible number of jobs and businesses around the world. Today, aviation, entertainment, sports, hospitality along with other critical industries are totally banned. Just imagine the jobs, contracts and quantities of revenue lost. I don’t want to focus on the tons that are already dead along with their loved ones whorrrre unfortunately and painfully prohibited to accord their departed the specified burial and last respect. Truly, these aren’t the best of times. Our world are not the same again, at the least in the way we interact and socialize. Too sad! May we never proceed through this again!

But students of history may have learned that this form of global challenge will stimulate massive landmark innovations that may permanently and positively impact humanity. Remember, it had been that great depression from the 1930’s that pushed nations, especially, the likes in the United States to invent policies and programs that permanently placed them about the irreversible wheel of progress and greatness. You remember The New Deal Reforms – Social Security, the Fair Labour Standards Act, banking reforms, rural electrification and crop insurance, etc, each will came out that situation. And also the Second World War 11 that followed shortly necessitated the establishment on the United Nation (UN), International Monetary Fund (IMF), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), etc. All these innovations made our world an even better place. Or just imagine our society without them. Yes, beauty may appear from the ashes and greatness away from confusion and chaos. And that is just what exactly I see following this pandemic. The sudden emergence, the resilience along with the massive destruction at this virus truly exposed the vulnerability of of us like the so-called rich and powerful nations. But it will sure instigate innovations, inventions, preparations and in many cases reparations. And as these will likely be going on I have without doubt that the world will even rise and say with one voice ‘Never Again!’ Never again shall humanity undergo this a higher level pain because in the carelessness or ambition of your few. Yes, never Again!

Now, we should learn on the biblical story in the four lepers that displaced a full army of an powerful enemy nation just to save Israel. How did they certainly it? They said to themselves “If we sit want die, when we go back, we will even die. But let’s proceed. Maybe we’ll meet help and success.” And you may have learned what followed. As they were moving with faith, courage and vision, the unseen hand transmuted their footsteps and efforts into supernatural results that brought miraculous victory, success and monumental riches not just in them, but towards the entire nation of Israel. Don’t be discouraged. Don’t sit there or turn back in frustration.Move forward. Keep moving! Every effort your family will enjoy from now will likely be successful. Imbibe the spirit of courage and resilience through this time. The sun will shine again! You will not sink or float, but swim to victory and success. Remember that challenges are merely opportunities in disguise. And that every challenge, including this is a potential platform for invention and breakthrough.
