Have you been faced with a difficult decision to make?

Are there times, you have been faced with a difficult decision but you know you have to make it if you want to succeed..

Most especially, when this decision will affect your relationship with others.

Inasmuch, as Joseph didn't exactly make decisions in the beginning, he always knew and stated where he was going to and this is why everytime he was faced with making a decision, even though it was difficult, he knew where he was going to.

When you know where you are going to, it is easier to know what to avoid and what to accommodate but it doesn't make it easier when it has to do with relationships.

No matter, how well, your head knows what to do, sometimes, your heart will just be playing "Tinko, tinko" with you.

I know where I am going, I have to make this decision, no matter how hard, I need to grow.

This is where the test and lesson of "No Attachment" comes in, but how easy is it, not to get attached to someone close?

Do you know where you are going to? Have you been faced with difficult decisions to make, which are necessary for your growth?

When, faced with this dilemma, what do you choose, do you stick with the relationship because you don't want to offend anyone or do you move on, because you can't afford to be stagnant?

Ecclesiastes 3:5 says, "There is a time to embrace and there's a time to turn away"..NLT

There's time for every activity under the heavens.. #reflect
Have a blessed day today. Shalom!

I am in PAINS!!!

Right now, things might not be going the way you want. It's like everywhere you turn, sadness slaps your face and grief keeps running after you to give you a hug and you are wondering who you offended.

You feel all alone and you keep asking, "When will this pass, Will it ever pass?"

"Though mourning and sadness may last for the night, Joy comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5b(paraphrased)

No matter how dark the night may be, the sun will rise and no matter how heavy and long the rainfall is, and how dark the clouds looks, the sun will shine again.

Jesus said, He won't leave or abandon you, He's closer to you than your brother or your sister, He's holding your hands, he won't let you slip, He's holding you firm.

Yes, you feel alone but He's there, He's waiting to comfort you and give you peace, He wants to hold you close in his arms, hug you and give you warmth. He wants to put a smile on your face and uplift your heart.

Jesus cares for you, no matter what you are going passing through. He feels your pain and hurts with you.
In the midst of these, He has promised that, He will cause All, All,(not some) ALL things(the beautiful, bad and ugly) to work together for your good. (Check Romans 8:28)

He sees your tears, feels your pains. He understands! Yes, He does. However, if you are not convinced, then, pour out your heart to him, the grief, the pain, the anger, the confusion, the heartbreak.
Tell him everything and allow him to comfort you, heal you, restore you and be a father, a lover, a friend, a mother, a sister, a guardian, whatever, you wish him to be, let him be to you...

Jesus loves you and He cares.. It is well. Shalom!

Ignorance wanted to finish me!!!

Did I run away? Not really. Many things happened, some are still happening but really it was my Ignorance that played a huge joke on me.

Really, when the Law of Recognition states that "Every thing you need in your life is already in your life, merely awaiting your recognition of it", it is the truth, a fact, it is real.

So, for the past 6 months, I have been struggling with my old phone, trying to put my pattern to no avail because the screen has been shattered in different directions, I guess this affected the calibration and my password will not complete.

What was I looking for in my old phone, Ask me?
Some information related to the login details of my blog, this is why I have been MIA for the past 6months.

Imagine, for months, I had been struggling with my old phone (Please, don't ask me why I didn't take it for repairs, that is story for another day!), meanwhile, I had a better solution with me, all these 6 months, My New phone.

Yesterday, I just browsed something about blogger login, only to realise I could login from my new phone without needing to refer to my old phone. You can't imagine my shock, happiness, sadness, all mixed feelings at the same time.

The Solution to my problem had been with me all the while, when I was busy stressing myself for 6 months...

How many times have you gone through something similar, stressing yourself over some problem in your past, tying yourself down (your happiness) to your past, wondering what you could have done better, wondering why you spoke when you did and it seems like you can only get the solution by unlocking or brooding over your past?

My dear, if after all your reflecting, brooding, thinking, sieving through your past, you have gotten no solution, then, "Please, what are you still doing there?"
Your Solution is here, in the present, it's with you, you have simply not recognized it.

Your solution can be with a person, probably, your friend, your parents, your neighbor or it could be in that new relationship you are scared of pursuing or maybe, it could be in the heart of your fears, so, in facing your fears, conquering and overcoming them, you get your solution. Your solution could be in any form but it's definitely around you.

Oh lest I forget, in case, you just can't seem to see your solution, I have an efficient and effective solution I can recommend.
You can deny, overlook its potency but I can assure you, it's 100% reliable and true, A relationship with JESUS.

I know, you might wonder what this had to do with whatever your problem is, it has everything to do with it.

Stay with me, and I will show you how...

It's great to be back and you are highly welcome. #Shalom!
