The Value of Having the Right Connections

A wrong connection will give you shock throughout your life, but the right one will light up your life. -Leonardo DiCaprio

If you connect an electric wire to non electricity conducting rope, do you think power will flow? No. You see there is truly a value in having the right connection if you want to make things work.

So when do we gain right connection? The right connection happens when things work basically. When things are compatible, it works and power flows.

So let’s look into some major connections necessary in our life so we can have a meaningful and fruitful experience of this time, space and generation we live in.

First Major Connection. When we think of connection, we usually immediately think of other people in our lives such as our family, colleague, network, friends and associations. Nowadays become a little bit of challenge because of social distancing. Inspite of this, how do we keep a healthy connection with these people around us? Because a life in isolation is not worth living at all. Cliche but always true, we are strong together, like connected together. Being connected is not always being close at hugs length, but connected being still of one mind, one spirit and one heart, despite distance and proximity. However, this be tricky because not all connections are right connections. There are also wrong connections so be careful with whom you are connecting to? Examine! Are these people who leading you to the path of life or of death, of good or evil, of blessing or curse? Choose carefully who are you connected in Facebook, who are you following in Instagram, who are subscribing in you tube? Who you are listening to in podcasts? Because even this online connections affect your life either for better or for worst.

Second major connection, is our connection guess? To ourselves! Have you ever felt disconnected with yourself? We don’t think about being disconnected with ourselves a lot? We just sometimes wonder why we feel so tired, why we are not producing results? Why we can’t control anger or sadness depression? Yet mostly it is for the reason of being disconnected within. Ever wonder why Jesus on earth before have to often withdraw from a crowd? Did He not come to save the crowd of mankind? You see He knew that external distractions can leer him away from his true purpose, mission and calling. How about you, are you connected within to your truth, values and purpose? Or already intoxicated by external influences? Is the life you are living really yours or about others?

And third major connection is Connection with God. I don’t need a transition about this because we just talked about him already. The most important connection you could ever have is connection to God. Ever wonder why people grope in the dark? Some people act like a fool, no sound judgements and decisions- not knowing what is moral and immoral, right or left, right or wrong. Physically alive but are spiritually dead.  A fool said to himself there is no God. A fool does not have a relationship with God. Perhaps they think they have but not really. It is one thing to know and believe in God and another to be in a relationship with God. Even The Enemy Satan knows and believes in God but not having a relationship with God. Just like you know the president of this country by name and role but you do not have a relationship with him unless you are a relative. You are not connected. Knowing God by name is different from having a relationship with Him. Relationship with God is made possible through the adoption processs based upon perfect life sacrifice that His Son Jesus bestowed upon us. By grace, the Savior God Jesus paid for our sins that separates us from God and reconnects us again to Creator God.

Now, this is loaded for some of you but I pray that the eyes of your heart be open and enlighten to understanding the truths about having the right connection that leads to something larger than life itself and larger than who you are! If you wanna know more, go read the Bible and draw close to God. Let me know how I can help too.
