...THE TRUTH WITHIN US...


Most of us have never really taken the time to visit within ourselves long enough to discover our own truths, much less live by them. And if we were to do so, those truths may frighten or worry us, for there is a good chance that the truths we have adopted from our exposure to outward things- the ones most of us have come to depend on for security, assurance, confidence, and comfort- are really not valid at all. We might instead discover that the truths within us are much more compassionate, kind, caring, forgiving, understanding, loving, and purposeful. For instance, many of us who have been hurt by others in the past, have put up walls to prevent others from getting close to us and to keep us safe. And while we may believe we are safe, the truth is quite the opposite: our isolation actually increases our hurt, sadness, loneliness, misery, and suffering. 

There is an inmost center in us all. But sadly, it is all too often a forgotten place; a place that many of us simply do not choose to visit or explore, and some may never go there at all. And that is truly a shame, for it is there where love abides; and in love, truly unconditional love, we have more authentic truth available to us than in any other aspect of our lives, for in it there is no concern with outward things. 

The truth is, what we believe to be the truth, and what actually is the truth, are not necessarily connected!

Waiting is painful. The pain is excruciating. Waiting makes you look stupid as though na only you waka come. But, keep feeding your faith during the painful season of waiting! Romans 10:17. Something I've learnt; seasons of waiting are not seasons of inactivity. A lot is going on! GOD is working; orchestrating events. Happy New Month. 😇

WORD FOR THE DAY

If someone talks rudely to a person, it is important to remain calm and not react with hostility. Instead, it is helpful to try to understand why the person is behaving that way and address the situation calmly and respectfully.  If the behavior continues to be disrespectful or abusive, it may be necessary to set boundaries or seek help from a trusted authority figure or support system.

GUARD YOUR HEART AND SPACE!

The enemy has one goal; for you to change the way you're talking. The tongue is a creative force!  A few years ago, I literally was magneting good things, especially people of like minds, money, material things. Everyday favour was my lifestyle. I had a stubborn faith, it annoyed a lot of people, because they felt I was not being realistic, yet everyday brought even better favours. I got a job I didn't apply for;  a very good one!  B ut you see, when your faith is not being sharpened, even though you think you're standing, you'll wake up one day and realise you've hit the rock bottom! Guard your heart and space with all diligence! No matter who the person is, if they are not speaking your faith language, do not make room for them to feel comfortable with their faithless opinions and ideologies. If the church you attend doesn't stir your faith or belief, LEAVE!  Protect your faith journey by living daily on GODS' word and NEVER budge! THE WORD OF GOD WORKS! #
