WHO AM I?
WHO AM I WHEN ALL IS STRIPPED AWAY?
WHO AM I WHEN THE WORLD AROUND ME IS TURNING UPSIDE DOWN?
WHO AM I WHEN I FEEL LONELY, HOPELESS & PURPOSELESS?
WHO AM I WHEN I FEEL UNWANTED, NOT NEEDED OR UNLOVED?
WHO AM I ,WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE?
One of the most simple but, challenging exercises I’ve tried to do over and over is the one below. Taking the time to complete it and answering the questions below will help give introspection as to what it is you value the most in life? Who and what am I living for? What do I want to be remembered for?
EXERCISE: Over the next 5 days take the time to thoughtfully consider the questions below and write the answers:
Day 1: What would I want my husband/wife & kids to say about me at my funeral?
          …………………………………………………………………………………………..
Day 2: What would I want my parents & siblings to say about me at my funeral?
         …………………………………………………………………………………………..
Day 3: What would I want my extended family and friends to say about me at my funeral?
         …………………………………………………………………………………………..
Day 4: What would I want my surrounding community, neighbors, colleagues at work, employees, boss, clients to say about me at my funeral?
         …………………………………………………………………………………………..
Day 5: What would I want people who I had recently met/strangers to say about me at my funeral?
         …………………………………………………………………………………………..
 
Answering the above questions will help remind and clarify what it is you value the most?
This year, Easter comes at an unprecedented time as the world around us comes to a standstill. Fear and uncertainty may be gripping your heart as experts around the world try to predict the social & economic impact of corona-virus. Our lives will certainly not be the same.
Our message to you this Easter is one of LOVE instead of FEARIts one of a better future, but more IMPORTANTLY, its one of a BETTER YOU.
Make the most of this time to become a better version of yourself because you are not an accident, but
You have MEANING & were created with a PURPOSE,
You are LOVED WANTED,
You are greatly VALUED CHERISHED
What you own or don’t own, what you have succeed at or failed at, what you have given or received, what you have gained or lost does not define you. YOU ARE MORE THAN THAT.
May God reveal His presence in your life in a very special way this EASTER Sunday. May you come to know His immeasurable LOVE and may it overflow into your heart and into the hearts of family, relatives, friends and beyond.
YES WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER, TOGETHER. May the verses below be of great encouragement.

Love comes from God( 1 John 4:19)

18There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love. 19 We love because he first loved us.

Fearfully & wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.

Created with Purpose (Jeremiah 1:5)

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

Created with Purpose ( Ephesians 2:10)

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

For God So Loved the World(John 3:16-17)

16 “For God so loved the world,[i] that he gave h-is only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
