Life is opinion - By Olayuwa Timilehin

In the realm where wisdom's sought,

Let us explore this topic taught.

"Life is opinion," some proclaim,

But let us seek a higher aim.

From Proverbs, wise words doth flow,

"The fear of God, true wisdom shows."

In reverence, our hearts shall find,

A compass to guide our opinion's bind.

The Psalms, a symphony of the soul,

Declare truths that make us whole.

"Teach me, O Lord, Your statutes pure,

So my opinions may endure."

In Romans, Paul's letters unfold,

Words of truth and love untold.

"Be transformed, renew your mind,

Let God's opinion be enshrined."

From Corinthians, we gain insight,

"Let love and grace be our guiding light."

For opinions alone may cause division,

But love unites with true precision.

The Gospels, the story divine,

Of Jesus' life and teachings fine.

"Love your neighbor, as yourself,

In this truth, opinions shall melt."

And in Ephesians, a message clear,

"Speak the truth, and do not veer,

Build each other up in grace,

Opinions tempered in love's embrace."

So, as we journey through life's terrain,

Let's remember what these verses explain.

Life's opinion may sway and sway,

But God's truth shall never decay.

In His Word, we find the light,

To shape our opinions, pure and bright.

Let us seek wisdom from above,

And live a life filled with His love.

For in His guidance, we find release,

From opinions that divide and cease.

In unity, we shall truly thrive,

As His truth in our hearts does arrive.

So, let our opinions be aligned,

With the wisdom of the divine.

For in God's truth, we shall abide,

And let His opinion be our guide.
