Cover-ups

No matter how big an issue, it gets worse immediately you try to cover it up.

It is futile to be against the truth. In fact, more people needlessly suffer from such a choice.

Covid-19 is turning out to be a perfect case study in this. From its beginnings to current handling by different institutions, leaders and individuals, those who have chosen to cover it up have selfishly put humankind at risk.

The truth is liberating when shared, but unforgiving when covered up.

Hard is it might be, it is wiser to have the truth on your side (willfully shared) than against you (forcibly shared).

An Awakening

Psalms 139:1-3, 13-15
O LORD, thou hast searched me and known me! Thou knowest when I sit down and when I rise up; thou discernest my thoughts from afar. Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise thee, for thou art fearful and wonderful. Wonderful are thy works! Thou knowest me right well; my frame was not hidden from thee, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth.

Homily:

God’s relationship with us remains largely unexplored, even for those that walk with Him.

I got a wake-up call on Tuesday when I happened upon a tweet by Leke Alder which said, “Heavenly Father…Happy Father’s Day!

It jolted me out of bed.

To think that I went through that day without a consciousness to wish “Our Father” a Happy Father’s Day, in spite of all He is to me, was humbling.

I am awake now, and will not miss such an opportunity again.
