Taking to her Instagram story to share a few lessons she has learned as she's gotten older, Sharon Ooja wrote saying:

SHARON OOJA: As iv grown older there are a few things iv learned ...

To be silent when I don't have the full picture. the Bible says even a fool seems wise when He is silent. The times iv spoken too soon, I most times wished that I didn't.

Not to judge anyone when I know their story, people are walking projections and most times their situations affect how they show up. and also how they speak.

Nothing is ever as it seems...when the bible says in Matthew 20:16 the first shall be the last and the last the first... it's real!!! Because this is the ssence of Gods grace... God rewards according to what He wants and as He pleases .. not what we think we deserve or someone else ,deserves... The Bible says that He will bless and show mercy to who He wants to show mercy to. Your expectations of someone , will never be their reality ... their reality, is what God has prepared for them ... I'll rather be a silent spectator , than speak and look foolish at the end .. there's a reason why the bibe says, a good name is better than riches ...it is better for us to humble our selves .. than let God humble us ... His own dey choke. The system of law is easy to figure out: you get what you deserve. The system of grace is foreign to us: God deals with us according o who He is, not according to who we are. Love your fav Jesus girl sharba
