We are the Ones!

… the ones to make a better world, a brighter world, so let’s start. The baton has been passed on to us, the torch has been given to us and we don’t feel ready. The clarion call has come and we don’t want to answer. The blanket has been removed but we don’t want to wake up. We don’t feel ready to get up. The big chop has happened and our heads feel bare, our covering is gone!

The era we know is gone, a new era has come upon us and we understand it not. The rich and vibrant life with our dads, uncles, mums, aunties, sisters, brothers etc is gone. We have move to an era we understand not, an era without that which we are use to. An era that feels stark, blank and bare. Empty and hollow the noise reverberates, like strangers we wander around lost and confuse.

Yet, we are the ones, the ones to make a brighter day, to make a better world, but we feel clueless. We are told the new era can be exciting and fulfiling, we are told it is stimulating and rewarding and we must not cheat ourselves of it.

It is our time, but we don’t feel like doing time, it is our season but we don’t want it to be. We stretch back our hands out to that which we knew before but we are told to stretch out our hands to that which is ahead, we are to reach for the stars as there are stars yet to be touched, new stars, never seen before, new horizons, new fortresses to be conquered, new battles to be fought, our own battles, our own journey, new frontiers. We shook our heads for we feel not ready but the baton passer has finished his race, the torch bearer has done his round and it is our turn.

Does anyone ever feel ready? Or do we just grab the baton ready or not? Yes, we must run, ready or not. We must not just run, we must run a very good race, we must run to win, we must run to win in style, we must run with class and elegance. For we are the ones to make a brighter place, we are the ones to create a better world.

We are the ones to break the barriers, we are the ones to smash the ceilings, we are the ones to push the borders, we are the ones to move the frontiers, we are the ones to break new grounds, we are the ones to have new conversations, we are the ones to forge new relationships etc.

We are the ones to experience the exciting, the stimulating, the vibrant, the rewarding and we will not cheat ourselves of it.

I grab the sceptre of responsibility with power, strength, purposefulness, determination and I look up. I receive the enablement, the anointing and I answer the call.

They left because they knew we were ready, We are the ones indeed!
