Have you ever felt abandoned or rejected by a loved one? That can be heartbreaking. However, when we feel like God has abandoned or neglected us, it’s another ball game. It’s more than heartbreaking. It’s scary. We are filled with fear and hopelessness.
That is exactly the way the enemy wants you to feel. He wants you feeling forsaken and abandoned. Everything the devil throws at you is, ultimately, aimed at casting doubts in your mind on God’s love for you.
Have you ever felt insecure about a relationship you had been in? I had felt that a countless times. I knew that fear that you might wake up one day and realise that, that love you once cherished is no more. And sometimes, this insecurity influences your attitudes until it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Yesterday was such a memorable day for my pupils. I watched them go through the trills of the first graduation ceremony of the school, with such passion, joy and energy. The debate, drama, news casting, poems…were breathtaking. The shock on the faces of the parents really, really made my day. It spoke volumes. Satisfaction. Appreciation. Surprise. You could tell that most parents present couldn’t believe their children could do the things they saw them do. Oh, how I enjoyed those surprised looks!
God is love
(1John 4:8). And God is faithful.
Have you ever been tempted to do what’s wrong or what violates your values? I have been there. And I can assure you that you will never get to a place in your life where you won’t be tempted any more. Talk about the zenith of maturity and spirituality, that’s Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. He was without sin, and in Him was no sin. Yet He was tempted of the devil. Temptation isn’t a sign of weakness. Rather, it means that devil hates you and is afraid of your spiritual progress and growth.
Temptation isn’t sin.
Words are so beautiful. I have always loved how we can piece together letters, to paint graphic pictures of people, or circumstances.
Today, we will look at the adjective “faithful”, to describe the Person of God.
To be faithful means to be reliable, loyal, worthy of trust, etc.
The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that “God is FAITHFUL” Continue reading “LOVE IS FAITHFUL”
There is a story of a man who went fishing with his son and his son’s friend. And while in the middle of the river, the little boat capsized. The man could swim, but his son and the friend could not. And there was only one lifejacket for the two of them. The father had a choice to make; to either give the lifejacket to his son and lose the friend or give it to the friend and lose the son.
The most fascinating thing in this life, for me, is love. From the way every fibre of my being springs to attention, when it comes to love, I am forced to say that my very being hears and understands love. I tell you, I have noticed my heart beat change at the thought of love. I had always wondered about what made love make such a strong impression on me. Then one day, I heard a statement that would change my life forever. That was, “God is love.” Little wonder! This was and still is my greatest discovery in life. Continue reading “GOD IS LOVE”
