There will be a day and a time, just a few hours when you will be celebrated by the people who love, respect and adore you.
A gathering made just for you.
A day scheduled, a date set and time allocated
You will be dressed up as fashionably as possible
Family and friends all dressed up in similar clothes
Colour coded specifically for your function
You will be placed in the most comfortable position ever
A book written just about you and though not published, it will be read by many
A service is officiated just for you
Prayers said and songs sang
You will be the star of the day
A celebrity of your own show
If only you could walk down the aisle
A red carpet would be laid for you
Tents raised, food prepared and donations made with music played in the background
Danceable tunes for bodies to move to but sadly not yours
Camera rolling, snap-snap, click-click
Memorable shots taken of everyone else but you
It’s a day set apart just to celebrate your journey
Don't be in a rush to be a star
Others have had their own celebration and you will have yours
There will be a day just for you to be celebrated
No doubt about that,
When you take that journey with no companion or luggage
It's a naked journey
Don't worry about the bus fair, or ticket
You won't need it
It's the longest journey you would ever take yet with the shortest distance
It costs nothing yet the most costly
Ever worried about never owning something?
There will be one thing you can call yours
Made just for you
No need to share with any, frankly they won't be enough space even for two.
Your own personal cabinet
All the attention you have ever craved will be granted to you on that day
Enjoying all of it is impossible
Ever wanted followers, yea the current goal of almost everyone in this generation
You will have them even without asking
There will be many following you as you are led away to a place prepared ahead of time only for
you.
A place you never really prepared for, hardly thought about or paid for with a price.
A place where you will be kept,
Kept away from the world
Because for some reason you no longer belong
Funny how all you have strived to do and become was influenced by the need to belong to the
world
But on this day, the world shows you evidently that you really never belonged
And there was no need to try to fit in
For it was a world you just had to pass through
After the world has succeeded in keeping you away from the things that really matter
It's now keeping you away from herself
For some reason, your expression of peace on this day is quite exceptional
Though your immediate surrounding has been stripped of its peace
Tears rolling down faces because you are too peaceful
Are they sad? Happy? Worried? Confused?
Or just wondering about what lies ahead for you
Who can tell?
Because though it seems you are at rest, you are actually on a journey
Ever wondered how come one person can be at two places at the same time?
Well, on this day you will be having this mysterious experience
Your journey will lead you to a destination
Being confused about what path to choose will not be a problem
Because you would have knowingly or unknowingly made that decision based on the life you led
You prepared very well for that journey, probably without realising
Your preparation determined your destination
You purchased a ticket from one of two agents but wasn't sure when the flight will take off
And you packaged up your luggage with everything you did with the world
But since there isn't room for all that baggage on your flight, all you get is a seat
Your baggage was shipped long before the day
So maybe the tears flowing down the faces of men, women and children are indications of
wondering whether
You purchased the ticket from the devil or from Jesus Christ
Whether you purchased a ticket of salvation or eternal death with the currency of choice
A currency you had in abundance yet never realised it's worth
They may be wondering whether you booked a flight for Heaven or Hell
A life away from the devil and pain or,
A life with God
You packed according to the ticket you had purchased
Your destination determined where your baggage will be shipped to
A destination where your baggage can be regarded as treasures or one where it will be regarded as garbage
An abode which holds and keeps your baggage so it's not stolen or lost
Or one which is a dumping site for all your garbage of a baggage
Though they may be wondering and hoping for the best
They also have a fair idea of what ticket you may have purchased
Because they watched you pack your baggage with the life you led
Maybe they saw you pack luggage full of violence, bitterness, unforgiveness, evil, hatred,
promiscuity, fornication, adultery, lies, list and selfishness.
They watched you zip the bag and you placed a tag of sin on the handle ready to be shipped
Or maybe your luggage was filled with love, peace, kindness, forgiveness, faith in the pain and struggles, righteousness, faithfulness, repentance and worship.
You zipped it up and placed the tag of grace on the side ready to be shipped.
Others maybe terribly confused and not sure of what to think
Because you were in consistent in your packing
Packing a secret luggage of sin and a luggage of righteousness in the open
Somehow hoping that, the luggage of sin will be ignored and that of righteousness shipped
However, both luggage will be put together, tagged with hypocrisy and shipped
A show maybe put up on this day for you
With readings made about the luggage you never really packed
Just so people will have some false peace that you will be just fine
But what is written, read and said counts for nothing
Because your true story has already been written and a room reserved for you at your destination, It could be the palace or the pig sty
Why we focus less on the most important journey of our lives is a question yet to be answered
Clinging to a world which can't wait to help us understand that we never belonged
Wasting the most expensive currency on worthless things
All of it is just mind blowing
And very difficult to understand
You will have your big day
You will be celebrated like you have always wanted
That day will surely come
Frankly there is no need to rush
You will attract the attention of many people on that day
But the more important question is, who will you be attracted to
The Lord God Almighty or the Devil because though you may look all dressed up in one scene
You will be looking more like either one of them on your journey.
What will be written about you on this day is important
But more importantly is where your name will be written.
Because that is the truth about who you really are
Life’s journey doesn't end on earth
It's just the beginning
Prepare for what's ahead
