Sunday Meditation: Filled People in Empty Spaces

By Zion Emmanuel Obeten

The earth is such a big space that humans cannot occupy it all despite the numerous births going on. It is also true that the earth still has empty spaces. What makes it worrisome is that these empty spaces are occupied by filled people. Filled people with skills and inventions, filled people who think they were created only to give birth to babies, but neglect the fact that they can equally give birth to multi-national companies and global incorporations.

But come to think of it: Which is more painful to give birth to – babies or inventions? If the cloud holds up rain from pouring although it can give it out, the farmers are angry, feel cheated and curse. Likewise, if we hold in our inventions and skills and don’t give them out for people to use or enjoy, they feel cheated and if they do same we get cheated, because we are not supposed to be living for ourselves alone.

Imagine a woman whose baby in her womb is due to be delivered but has refused to be delivered of that baby. She stands a great risk of the loss of her life and even the baby.

So it is when those songs, books, laboratories, conglomerates, movies, banks that are to be delivered by us are not. They may end up dying within us and become even harmful to us.

The reason why we still have many empty and wasted spaces is that we have refused to fill them with what’s on our inside. We have preferred to receive rather than give out. What we receive fills us only, but what we give out fills the environment we are in.

The wake-up call right now is that we fill up those empty spaces, for of what use are they to us being empty?

We were not born to sit or stand still

We were born to get up and fill
