"Wait! She's not married at her age? Then why is she so happy??"

"They're yet to have children? I can imagine the secret fights and unhappiness in their marriage. I wonder if they actually enjoy sex any longer seeing it has not yielded any fruits"

_
How many times have we put others in a box of our life's expectancy and judged their happiness based on our skewed idea of what a happy life should consist of?

And how many times have we let society define the boundaries of our joy, determine the clock-time of our lives and set timelines for our achievements? Leaving us weak, scared and discouraged over situations that are beyond our control.


Yes, maybe you had a thousand abortions but consider that there are virgins treating infertility issues and prostitutes who get pregnant yearly. It doesn't all depend on your past sins. If God forgave you, you stand forgiven and whole. Wombs get restored, uterine temperatures and hormonal imbalances are not beyond the reach of God who raised men from the dead.


Guilt can hinder the flow of healing. Open your heart, let guilt go. Rest in Jesus and enjoy your marriage. The litmus test for a "thriving marriage" is not children.


Oh yes it hurts! Oh yes you desire the "Mini-mes" - fruits of your love relationship and people to share your affection with.


While you pray and seek medical solutions, don't tie up your joy in a box or let society drain you with the bad-mouthing pipe. Don't bring your life to a halt.

To the single lady under pressure, marriage is not the peak of fulfillment and you're not incomplete without a lover. Don't give in to pressure. If they're not ready to commit, to love only you, to keep you as priority. If they'll take your love and sacrifices for granted then keep waiting for the one who won't. Keep your standards of Godliness, vision and sacrificial love, don't settle for less than you're worth.

_

And don't be the one who sets the boundaries of joy on others because you feel they don't qualify based on your perceived sense of their lack.


Yes they might actually be having the greatest sexual experiences. You are not God. There's no fourth person in the Trinity.

FORMERLY USELESS

FORMERLY USELESS In this journey of life, we get to hear about or meet people who are being considered as bad examples. People often give advice to others and say, 'do not be this or that person'  Lydia grew up in a toxic environment, being born out of wedlock and her naive mother could not really give her the upbringing she deserved. She was forced to navigate her way through life all alone. Often times, people referred to her as a useless child. She lived a life without sense of purpose till the day she was led to Jesus and her life experienced a turn around for good. You may be in a situation where people have looked at your life and termed you 'useless'. The good news is that even though you are a cultist, a thief, a fornicator, an adulterer or the likes, Jesus is ready to change your story. Onesimus was reintroduced to Philemon, his slave master urging him to take him back stating that ''Formerly he was useless to you but now he has become usef...

ABOUT LOVE

The cute guy came around and smiled at you, such that made your heart melt right inside of you and then he said Ï love you". The feeling was just indescribable, in fact you felt the whole world was revolving around you. He told you that you were the true definition of perfection and he couldn't live without you...   Yes, he may have loved you, but was it really love or ??? I don't think it was love because I learnt that you cant really love someone whose assets and liabilities you cant define. Ok... you looked good; your Brazillian hair, glittering dinner dress, diamond jewelleries, flawless make-up, beautiful shoes and irresistible cologne fragrance were all in tact.   He was attracted and carried away. You thought it was going to last forever...... Just after a while, he stops calling, ignores your calls, becomes too busy and gives countless excuses. It hurts, obviously true. It can actually make you feel less about yourself but here is God whispering in ...
