By faith, I believe that Icon Nelson Mandela, will live for another quarter century as a gift from God to us.

I do not think that it is possible to convey the measure of Mr. Mandela’s hurt and despondency at any comprehensible human level. The hurt that Mandela suffered at the hands of his subjugators who may have vehemently propagated malfeasance out of arrogance and ignorance, may have seemed like perpetuity to Mandela. This type of hurt that embodies hopelessness, despair, anguish and the likes; can only really be felt by the sufferer and his Creator.

It seems apparent that Mr. Mandela had the foresight to look upwards with “blind faith” at these pivotal times, which allowed his fears of pestilence and dolorousness to be placated by God’s mercy and grace.

We should be ever so thankful this day for the blessings of God’s forgiveness that He imputed into Nelson Mandela that made Mr. Mandela, the person that he is!

And so, if we too would look upwards with “blind faith,” we may begin to understand the mysteries of God’s mercies that would allow us to see that today’s sorrows become tomorrows joy; today’s failures are tomorrows successes; today’s hate turns into tomorrows love, and all of our weaknesses are transformed into Samson’s like strength.

It is then we would come to realize that in the like manner that man uses fire to refine Gold, God does the same in refining His souls!
