Dear human, Episode 5: Take care of what you have before it's gone.
<p>Neglect is a slow poison.</p><p></p><p>This quote always reminds me of my friend, Jemma.</p><p>Jemma was blessed with the longest , thickest, fullest natural hair you'd ever seen, with a rich black colour and wonderful texture. Everyone wanted Jemma's hair. I'll not even lie, me sef I wanted her hair too. </p><p>But there was just one problem–</p><p>Jemma never took care of her hair.</p><p>She rarely washed it, she never moisturized it,<span style="background-color: transparent;"> I don't think she even knew how to.</span></p><p>I started noticing how dry her hair was and how she was always itching her scalp</p><p>I tried to bring it to her attention but she never took me seriously.</p><p>" All these one no really matter, nobody will even notice. When they see my next hairstyle, that's the only thing they'll talk about".</p><p>But the itching continued and became even worse. Her hair started breaking, her scalp developed multiple injuries and somehow her hair became infested with lice. There was no other option at this point.</p><p>Jemma had to cut her long, beautiful hair because of negligence. If only she had taken care of it from the start, maybe I'd be telling a different story now.</p><p>Dear human,</p><p>A christian life not properly cared for can be likened to Jemma's hair </p><p>At first we're walking closely with God , bearing fruits, and doing exploits in His name but soon after we become relaxed and forget that there are necessary things we must do to take care of this new life we have now.</p><p>Other times, we see these things as too much work and just expect the growth to happen without putting in the effort.</p><p></p><p>We prioritize worldly pursuits over prayer, Bible study and fellowship and ignore "little sins" rather than seeking for forgiveness and restoration.</p><p>By doing this, we begin to slowly drift away from God and this creates a pathway for the enemy to swoop in and gradually destroy what we have. </p><p>Do not be like my friend Jemma and wait until things get worse. </p><p>Do not wait until the enemy destroys this life and you have to start all over again.</p><p>Read your favorite verse today, pray for a friend, pray for yourself, ask God to restore your relationship with Him and be intentional about it.</p><p>Take care of what you have now so that you don't lose it.</p><p></p><p></p>
