This Thing Called Life — Episode 19
💊💊💊
It was triggered by a normal scroll. Just thumbs moving, eyes half open, mind not ready for anything serious. Then I saw a sentence that paused me.

“May it not be heard that someone loves you more than me.”

I was like “Wow, Strong words. Beautiful words.” I reread it, words like that sound like fire when you read them slowly.

I stared at it longer than I planned to. Not because it was wrong. Not because it was offensive. But because of how easy it is to say such things and how hard it is to live them.

I imagined the many places that same line could come from. Some people say it from a place of deep intimacy. A life that has paid a price. A heart that has known obedience when it was uncomfortable. When such a person says it, heaven understands the accent.

But I also imagined another group. People who say it with neat grammar and empty obedience. People who post it with soft background music but have not surrendered their habits. People who say “no one loves you more than me” but still argue with God when He asks for simple things. People who sing Theophilus Sunday “My life belongs to you " passionately and also sing one of Asake's song that probably talks of " Baby, You're my life, my all", it makes me wonder "How many life do we have? "

Coincidentally, that sentence followed me into real life.
Later that day...
