I couldn't help but touch this...I love it @SamuelOtigba. Let me add spices.
I wish you the kind of friendship
that doesn't fade when seasons change, the kind that stays even when there's nothing left to say.
I wish you a love that sees you not just the smile you wear, but the quiet parts you keep hidden and chooses you there too.
May life bring you blessings that don't only fill your hands but soften your days, quiet your worries and give your heart room to rest.
Listen, and above all, may gratitude find its way into you for the little joys, the unexpected mornings, the people who stayed, and the beautiful life still unfolding before you :)
God is intentional. Nothing about this season has been random. Not the delays, not the waiting, not even the detours. One day it’s all going to make sense in the most beautiful way.
You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.
She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.
And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.
To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.
I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?
Then I realized I was the wife.
I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.
And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”
He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”
That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.
He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.
Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.
Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.
The cross was Him naming the price.
Praise the Lord.
I really dislike the concept of “we experience people differently” because what have I done for you to be horrible to me but kind to the next person?? 😭
Btw,I sent yam and fried eggs to my talking stage this year… like I cooked and sent to her,she didn’t return my cooler.
Carry the cooler to your husband house,anini 😑
I found a very beautiful Bible verse.❤️
NAHUM 1 :9
There will come a time when that problem won’t bother you again, not because you forgot, but because God ended it once and for all.
