Two weeks ago, we started a talk
about upgrades and all. This week, we will have the concluding part.
Going by the previous article, our
need to upgrade per time was made obvious. As a matter of fact, one of the
reasons why we sometimes appear all crammed up and confused is because we have
a lot on our mind/head- things we need to let go in preparation for a better
and brighter version of ourselves that in some ways we are still holding on to.
To provide answers to the
question we closed with in the previous part, one of the ways I would say makes
effective upgrade/growth possible is self-awareness. This is because a self-aware
individual is always in touch with his/herself and as a matter of fact, knows
when to change/move from one level to another. Such individual knows how to
upgrade either based on need, personal observation, external corrections,
knowledge gained and applied and the likes, because he/she is constantly in
touch with his/her being.
Asides self-awareness which in my
opinion is vital, one other efficient way I would say makes upgrade possible is
spending time in the Presence of the One who made us- God. Why? Because He made
us and as a result, knows the areas where we are deficient and at that, needs
upgrade per time. As our bona fide Maker, He knows exactly the buttons to touch
and what to pull to make us have access to needed upgrades per time.
God’s Presence with regards to
our upgrade can be likened to the presence of Wi-Fi in our locations. For the
software on our phones to get updated per time, it has to be close to an
internet connection- say a Wi-Fi. Proximity to a Wi-Fi source makes the update
possible, and most times when our software gets upgraded, our phones in most
cases performs better. The same can be said of us. To grow as a human (a
product made by God), we must stay close to Him per time. What happens when our
phone becomes too full to accommodate an upgrade despite the availability of a Wi-Fi?
Does the upgrade go through still? I’m afraid no.
To get ourselves automatically
upgraded in the presence of our Maker, what are the things we must do? We must acknowledge
Him by reading/spending adequate time with His Word- The Holy Book (which
happens to be our operating manual as human beings), and also by soaking
ourselves in an atmosphere of (Spirit and truth) worship, as well as daily communing
with Him through the habit of prayer. When we do all these constantly, our souls
gets updated (renewed) per time and becoming a better human becomes inevitable.
When we get better per time in
our being, we increase our capacity to love and to be loved. Our kindness level
shoots up, and so does our compassion level. We grow by developing the fruits of
the Spirit, against which the Bible says there is no law (see Galatians 5:22-23).
Growth in the spirit in addition to constant learning and experience would sure
not leave us in a redundant place.
In the process of us being
upgraded as well, our struggles fall off. Issues such as anger, childishness,
erratic behavior, malice and all becomes a thing of the past. Through the
upgrade and the fall offs, we are made to serve the world better, especially
our spouses and neighbours, knowing fully well that a healthy marriage/life is
all about service- service to one another in love. In all, having an upgrade
per time prevents us from being easily overwhelmed by circumstances, events and
happenings.
Till I come your way again, I do
hope you have a nice day even as we all grow in the love, knowledge and truth
of God and our lives like Proverbs 4:18 begins to glow, and glow, unto the
perfect day. *hugs*
