THE PRINTS IN THE SAND

  Thinking critically about it, I discovered that men live their lives in two ways, it's either a life worthy of emulation and full of impact or they simply "exist", i.e, some men exist and not "live" and believe me when I say that most don't even realize it.

    We see the lives of people who have made impact like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr in their fight against racism and for freedom, Mary slessor, when she stopped the killing of twins, and even in the lives of scientists like Thomas Eddison, Albert Einstein among others. These people and more left long standing impacts that is evident even in our generation today, they left unforgettable PRINTS in the sand of time and dare I say in the sand of purpose too. It is safe to say that they lived and not just existed.

   Leaving the secular world and turning to our lives as Christians, we don't even need to look too far, with Jesus as our prime example, we see the impacts he has made from time immemorial. Through Him,we gained life, we received salvation and every thing that comes with it, talk about healing, prosperity, joy, grace and even forgiveness. Christ left an unforgettable print in the sand of our lives when he gave us life anew.

    Eventually, it becomes a choice. Every man that has made impact today had the choice of leaving prints in the sand or just walking past with no purpose like other men did, but, believe it or not, if you refuse to make an impact,others will rise and they will, so the choice is yours.

     As for me, I choose to make impact,I choose to live and not just exist, I choose to leave the PRINTS IN THE SAND. What about you?
