The Manufacturer of Human Beings

The other day when I reported to work, my colleague informed me my flask was broken. Her message took me aback because the previous evening I had left the flask intact. This flask has been with me for a while and it was of great importance because mum gave it to me. I however rest easy with the understanding that it has served me well and God gave me provision for some extra money to meet this unexpected expense.

As I looked at my broken flask, I reflected on its manufacturers. They made it with the understanding that it shall break and warrant the user to go back to the shop to purchase another so that they may continue to enjoy the services of the flask. That meant they needed to make many units. And away from new units offer repair services. It was also made with the understanding that the manufacturer knows it best. This means that though others may try to repair it, the manufacturer is the best placed person to repair it and put it back into order. Now who is the manufacturer of human beings?

For those of us who believe in the Supreme Being (God) we believe that God created all things in this world. This therefore means that God is the manufacturer of human beings. That is to say when He created us He knew what it would take to put each one of us back together. He is able to join up all our broken pieces and turn them into a complete whole person.  With this understanding it is for us all to understand that its not in our place to repair broken people. Neither is it other persons place to repair us when we are broken.

Broken people can be toxic. They are the malicious persons running around causing havoc. They are the persons so focused on destroying lives of others.  Unfortunately for them,  God uplifts those they are working to destroy as they watch. They are the persons that will be abusive to others at work, home and environment. What do we therefore need to do to help these broken persons or to help ourselves when broken?

The best way the broken persons can be helped is to take them to the manufacturer. It is He who understand how best to transform them. As we take the broken persons to the manufacturer we also need to take ourselves to the manufacturer so that He helps us know what to do during the repair process. He shall make it clear to us whether its time for us to get a replacement or perhaps wait till they are fixed and we can have a normal life. We also need to recognize that our actions result to breaking people. We therefore need to ask our Manufacturer (God) to make us better human beings who don't go around breaking the people around us. Otherwise we shall have none left for us to enjoy their company with. See it may come a time when we shall exhaust the kitty to buy new persons. For those that are broken learn to have confidence in your Manufacturer because He shall get you up and running in no time.

See yes I have the money to buy another flask now but you can be sure that going forward my flask shall be under lock and key. That way I am sure next time it breaks I shall be responsible.
