That's it

Every second, every minute and every hour,i find myself looking for it

Under the bed,inside the toilet, on the bookshelf and in the winecups

I searched everywhere looking in places most important and least important

My friends asked me

what are you looking for?

My family wanted to know why my room was in disarray

I told them i was searching

I was disturbed ,perplexed, troubled and frustrated

where was it?

Where did i drop it?

Did someone take it?

I cried,fought,screamed, yet i didnt find it

Then, one day in the stillness of the night

From somewhere deep in my heart came a voice loud and clear

what exactly are you looking for miss,maybe i can be of help

I sat up immediately,and said i am looking for................

I went blank, totally blank

and then i discovered an amazing thing

I never knew what i was searching for

I therefore looked in the wrong places,

And even those times i looked in the right places, 

they ended up becoming the wrong places because i didnt know it and therefore didnt see it

Friends am sure most of us have found ourselves in situations like this

Searching for what we didnt even know 

We have entered those relationships to find it

We have decided to study that course, take those exams just to find it

We have decided to go with friends to those parties, take those cups of acoholic wines with a cigarette in our mouth  all in a bid to find it

We have gone almost naked on the road, taking trips out in the night looking for it

Funny enough we have gone to the church, attended various prayer retreats and deliverance sessions just to find it

Take a pause

What exactly are you looking for?

only when you can answer that question, can you find it

stop wasting time searching in the wrong place for fame,for revenge, for money,for fulfilment, for purpose and forlove

That's it!
