The journeys we embark on,  in this adventure may lead us to places we have never thought possible. They can lead us to people from different cultures, who might become our long last friends. The exchanges we have with them might lay foundations for deeper relationships, a brotherhood or sisterhood, all depending on the bases of our relations.

This is considered one of the true beauties of living.

On this very adventure, we come across quests, which can hinder us from going forward or develop us into strong adventurers. These quests incite us to seek alliance with other adventurers, so that together, we are able to conquer and move forward. We learn to not only depend on our own might, but recognize that a helping hand sometimes is what we need to accomplish a task. When we make a decision to form an alliance, we know very well that it is a sign of trust and hope for victory.

Sometimes these alliances reward us kindly with ever lasting friendships, which are unbreakable. Many other times, these alliances end in betrayal and abandonment. In response to quests and betrayals, many people develop the fear of the unknown. Others develop a phobe for alliances, vowing never to lend a helping hand to someone else. The question here is; Are you the one who builds alliances or betrays and destroy them?

No one’s adventure is identical with another’s, yet there’s one objective, SURVIVAL. Everyone looks to a deeper and higher power to sustain them through this adventure and they pray for wisdom and knowledge and understanding, just so that they can face the journeys ahead.

Here is a piece of wisdom as you embark on your Life’s adventures by a Great Author. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favouritism” Colossians 3:23-25.

The way you comport yourself on this Living adventure, the manner in which you deal with your alliances (friendships/friends) determines whether you are a builder or destroyer.

How does one know which they are?

Do you take what does not belong to you? Do you make false promises? In this new age of technology, where one can communicate across continents, do you block those you have formed alliances with, so that they have no means to get to you? In terms of honesty and truth, do you have someone’s money which you have had for months and years, always promising to speak to them; and in the last minute, you cut off all communication with them, because they are persistent over what’s rightfully theirs? Do you have a good conscience knowing they go hungry or need that money? Do you betray friends to gain favour from others? These are small and big quests on Life’s Journeys, which coerce one to take decisions which are either building or destroying.

Strengthen each other on your journeys and not betray the glimpse of victory that another has seen in your alliance.
