By Stanley Collymore
God gave us life and, when He did so, He also
accorded us the freedom to make choices of our own, as well as the will to
either enforce or rescind those decisions we’d made. That said, He also
expected us to act responsibly, if not all of the time then at least for most
of it.
For we’re human beings created in His own image
and who’re blessedly endowed with the gift of reason and the power to use that
sacred gift advisedly. Not act like computerized automatons incapable of adjudging
what is logically and sensibly right, or what is detrimentally and undoubtedly
wrong!
So wouldn’t it be worth both our consideration
and time, if instead of principally always selfishly thinking of just our self,
and usually so to the detriment of others, that rather we pause occasionally,
generously consider, and seriously reflect on how best in this life we’re
especially given from Heaven, that we can all of us accordingly, earnestly
divest from our entrenched selfishness and, both individually and collectively,
generally act much more altruistically?

This poem is written in
grateful appreciation to all those who of their own and most gracious volition,
have both voluntarily and consistently made a significant contribution in my
life.
It’s also dedicated to
all my followers globally whose interest in my work is an added incentive to
what I’m doing and truly love doing.
Equally so, it’s for the
Management and staff at Twitter who for the past 10 years – thanks to all of you
for remembering my 10th anniversary with you – who’ve so admirably put
up with me for the past decade. Thank you! And God bless you all!
