Finally

Love... We all yearn for it or run from it, maybe embrace it... Name it! Love affects us all! It's the smile on our face, the sparkle in our eyes, the warmth in our embrace and most of all the hope in our heart.

When they smile I know my world's going to be alright, when I hear their laugh I realise that I am indeed so highly blessed to have the gift of Motherhood. No other compares to this... Just when I think I can't be filled with more love, they blow me away with each coming day! when am quiet or pensive the younger one goes 'Hi Mom' and I respond hi back so cheerfully, she then smiles and responds 'Am fine' and off she goes... Just that little act see's me through my day and when I return back home from work or wherever it's like they can hear me from a mile away and dash to receive me at the door all skippy and giddy! As the older one runs screaming Mum and holds on to me so tightly, ofcourse as the younger one follows closeby...

So to think that God loves us like this and even more, brings me to my knees!! All along I've had the love I've so yearned for, all I needed to do was accept it... Each day His unfailing Love is still so merciful to undeserving me, so faithful even when am not... I am in awe of you my Father and in amazement of how far your undeserving favour keeps taking me... There is nothing like healing from broken trust, which is given if you put your hope in man, but He is not like man that He should lie, so as I stand on His word and promises for me, the more I spend time with Him and in Him, the more I understand and love Him and trust is now easy... Proverbs.3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take." And indeed tried and tested... In Him I trust and realise I've always had all the Love that I need:-)

Equally Yoked...

In my rather short, but very blessed time here on earth I've had the privilege to meet quite a number of wonderful people, I've also had a number of mind blowing experiences, with some of course not being very good for me, but all the same we do learn from our experiences... And that is what mistakes are there for, for us to learn, grow and hopefully be better people after that... So really one can live a life with no regrets if they choose to learn from their bad choices, decisions and really make a 360!turn and choose His Path... Yes only on His!(His here being our heavenly Father), because on His path there is peace, Joy, clarity and abounding and unconditional love! All of which are elements of a successful life if you ask me...

For the longest time 1st Samuel 15:22, which reads that Obedience is Better!! than Sacrifice, was really just a verse for me, because I've always been the person who'd rather experience something for myself to get the lesson even of it means getting burned! But now almost 27years later, I see why God asks us to obey His every word, it really is for our own good! to live by His law and fully trust Him always and not man... This lesson was learnt after realisation from another of His vital lessons that teaches us in 2nd Corinthians 6:14 to not be Unequally yoked with unbelievers, as light and dark have nothing in common,' Now this one I battled with cause I always thought that I could be the influence, and His light would shine through me and bring those in the dark to light!! but boy! isn't that the hardest thing one could ever do! especially if coming from the woman, because it is the man who is meant to be the head in the relationship.

Therefore trying to influence renewal of mind when really that isn't your role can be a tricky one, so I came across Matthew 11:30, which reads 'For my yoke is easy to bear and burden light' and like a light-bulb of all the years I've read that verse never has it made so much more sense to me... Let me explain when you decide to rest your worries on God, He will surely give you rest, but also my other interpretation of this is when two decide to come together as one, God wasn't kidding about being on the same page; For if you have same values, views, even similar backgrounds and experiences then forming a friendship and bond is far easier, but when the opposite is the case, that's when unhappiness creeps in, just sticking around because of time and or investments and really being lonely in a relationship, which is a paradox really, but if you are both under His authority then though the journey is never a smooth one, it will be easy, because His yoke is easy! If nothing else, just being on the same page spiritually really aligns everything else and there in lies Fulfilment... So may we all live by 1st Samuel 15:22, the heartache will definately by far be much less if not even at all...

Be Blessed;-)
