Day 390

Day 390

Good news Versus Bad news

I am pretty nonchalant about things as such anymore, what mean a good news or a bad news to me?

Growing up, I always liked good news and bad news stories where details keep turning the story from a triumph to tragedy and back.

I always have the tendency of this blessings in disguise mind concept. This theory evolved into a different kind of self concept I internalised after I met Jesus.

As I read the bible as often as I can, I picked up alot of examples which is worth my study as I mature spiritually and wholesomely.

There's a reason why I love Joseph, son of Jacob in the bible. He is my favourite Hero of Faith. I do exampled my life over his in fact.

Take Joseph into the contemporary world.

1. Joseph is his daddy's favourite -  Very Good
2. He is a dreamer, he has a crazy mad dream - Very Mad
3. But his brothers hate him due to the favouritee - Very Bad
4. When Joseph speak his dream is to rescue his brothers and save them the brothers turned - Very very mad
5. Being the favourite, daddy gives him a beautiful coat meaning authority - Very Good
6. But his bothers hated that and ripped of and cover it with blood, pretend that he is dead - Very Bad
7. He landed in a job in Silicon valley working for mircosoft, due to his great attitude, he became the managing direction and is on the cover of Forbes and Business week. Plus he is so good looking sort of better than Tom Cruise, but taller and better looking - Super Good
8. The CEO's wife thinks he is good looking and tries to seduce him - Very Bad
9. Joseph resisted - Very Good
10. But the wife became furious, lied to her husband and get Joseph arrested - Very Bad
11. In the prison Joseph met a royal butler, interpreted his dream and got him out of jail - Very Good
12. The royal bulter got out of jail but forgotten about Joseph - Very Bad
13. 2 years later, the bulter remembered Joseph and brought him to President Obama - Very Good
14. Joseph became the prime minister and the best 2nd man to the President - Very Good
15. Joseph stores up reserve for the economical crisis - Very Good
16. Joseph uses the reserves and saved his whole family including his brothers who tried to kill him - Dream restored and calling fulfilled.

So, what matters in any good or bad news story is the last turn. How does it end? If it ends with good news, the entire story gets redeemed. All bad news is seen in a new light. What matters in when we walk till the end of our road living a dream restored and blessings redeemed. What even seems mad and crazy now have its power to be a dream restored and calling fulfilled.
