Day twenty-three: Only Jesus can break your defenses

Heyaa!

 I bring you greetings from my office...(yes, I am still here. This is my last task before I leave tonight)

 I have heard somewhere people (especially my sisters) saying things like, "I'm waiting for the one (man) who is capable of breaking down my defenses or my walls, etc.). Truth is, it was one of the things I was also looking out for in my husband...(this is in the past)

 And oftentimes, we associate "the one" with this kind of attribute.

 Well before I proceed to my main contribution, let me just say that some men make it their goal to break down the defenses of a lady just so that they can use you and run away; they make this their lifelong goal till they achieve it. And so, let us not be too quick to give these temporary people permanent positions in our lives.

 Let us get this right.
Only Jesus can break the walls we have put up as a result of our past hurts.
Who we permit to break down our defenses is very important: we cannot just let anybody do that work but Jesus Christ. 

 Our freedom is safe when placed in the hands of Jesus.
The fullness of life we are called to live as Royals depends on how vulnerable we are to allow Jesus touch the softness of our hearts.

 I know it is hard to expose your tenderness.
I know it is scary to allow Jesus to touch your heart.
But He has the hands of Gold.
With great care, He will hold your heart even better than an egg.
You, my dear, can trust that He will not break your heart.
He loves you.

 Will you allow Him to touch your heart with His love?
Trust me, it will be you exposing your truth to the Truth.
You will be in your highest state of vulnerability and yet, you will be in the safest hands.

 Do not look out for a man to break your defenses.
Look to Jesus. 
Your truth is safe with Him.

 Oh, that our hearts may be rendered unto You, Jesus.
That we will trust Your heart concerning us. 
That we may believe that You love us deeply.
That we may know that You delight in us living freely, the life You have lived for us.

 Jesus...

 Help us Holy Spirit, to allow Your soft hands to keep our hearts.
We look to You.

 You Are Our Safety.

Go With God

When I started Sharing Life, my intention was to put out what I knew Holy Spirit was teaching me. This was what He asked me to do. It wasn't to parade myself as an all-figured-out girl who was on her way to becoming a preacher.  It was a journey of life I was learning and one which I had received the go-ahead to let the world in on.  Somewhere on this road, I was seen as a "Woman of God" and put on this high and mighty pedestal which wasn't me.  And you know what, in such moments, it is so easy to get carried away by the accolades of men to the point where you lose sight of your journey, where you are and decide to serve the expectations of others... thereby neglecting your own journey and growth.  After taking a very long break from active writing, I have on numerous occasions attempted to start writing again but the fear of being put on that pedestal has stopped me so many times.  I am a child of God. I am a girl on a journey. I don't have it all f...

My journey with Holy Spirit

This might probably be the longest I will ever publish. Here we go... Senior High School I started my relationship with Holy Spirit in St. Louis Senior High School. At that time, my father was going through a bit of a struggle and I didn't want to be a burden to him. I had made a terrible decision to combine my chopbox with a friend's and when my provisions finished, I couldn't call home. I was sad and I remembered that daddy had told me that if I ever wanted to change and be a better human, I should start by reading the "Book of Proverbs".  I came across Wisdom and I prayed for that Friendship and then someway somehow, I believed that I was never alone and that I had a Friend with me and that was when I starting fellowshiping with Holy Spirit.     Prior to this, I remember when I was in class 6, I heard Someone share His heart with me. He asked me, " Why is it that when people have problems, they tell their friends about it and then their fr...

Day six: The perfect start

Waking up to pray has been extremely hard to do in the past few days. For some time now, I wake up in the mornings feeling more tired than I went to bed. And so although my eyes are open, it is a real struggle getting out of the bed. Initially, this morning, I was feeling bad about it. After a few minutes, I resolved to pray from my bed. I did that… and ended up sleeping at a point . It was better than nothing. That moment taught me that the perfect start is the one that happens from exactly where you are. There is a reason why God wants this relationship with us: aside from the fact that it is a love thing, God also knows that we truly and sincerely cannot make it in this life without Him. He Is not looking for a perfect daughter neither is He searching for a perfect son. He Is perfect and His perfection is enough for all of us. I remember those times when I would tell my spiritual father I was struggling to pray. He would say to me: Why don’t you ask the Lord to help you? Why d...
