Perspectives

In the ending of last year, 2016, I was faced with a choice to make.
I was faced with the choice of seeking my happiness or the happiness of God, my Father.
…at that time, seeking my happiness felt like it was what was going to make Daddy happy… simply because it made me happy.
I felt that the joy of Daddy was in seeing me happy and so, I wanted to run with my desire of personal happiness.
Then there was the choice of seeking the happiness of Daddy.
I knew the other option was and still is what Daddy wanted of me but at that time, I felt I couldn’t take it. I felt like I was ‘done!!!’ and I couldn’t hold on any longer.
…I cried…
So, I decided to pursue my happiness, believing that Daddy was in on it.
I am very grateful to God that in my frustration, Holy Spirit led me to cry to Him.
I believe strongly that because I went to Him, to vent out my pain, He opened my eyes to understand what I am about to share to you today.

Baby, the greatest desire of Our Father is for you to be happy and at peace within yourself.
He loves to see you smile and His heart explodes when He hears your laughter.
He will never seek His happiness at the detriment of your joy, baby.

Daddy taught me that in seeking my own happiness, I have the tendency of focusing only on me. It is selfish…very selfish…but that is not the point.
You see, I do not know the full plan of Daddy and when and how He intends going about them. In seeking my happiness, I do that, oblivious of His masterplan…and that can be costly.

In seeking the happiness of Daddy, He taught me that I am aligning myself to His perfect will which is found within His masterplan. In choosing to seek the happiness of my Father, I am availing myself as a channel wherein and through which His perfect will is established…and this will conforms to His will for this world. See this as me availing myself to be instrumental in His overall plan for the Earth.
Baby, in seeking Father’s happiness, it is beyond you and yet, it is still about you.

And the truth is, that so long as Our Father is happy, nothing can beat the joy…the unspeakable joy that will rest within our hearts.

I am glad He brought me back to see things in perspective.
I am glad that I know that His perfect will is beyond me yet, it is about me.
I am glad that I know that in seeking His happiness, He swells with so much love for me.
I am glad for the Holy Spirit Who never stops leading me and all His set apart ones.

“There is a good way and there is the Excellent way.
The good way is oftentimes our (man’s) way; the way of our good intentions.
The excellent way is the way of the Spirit, carved out of the will of Our Father in Heaven.”
-Marlene (19/12/16)
I pray for you today, that in all your ways, you will seek after that which pleases Daddy…what makes Him happy. For therein, lies your happiness, baby.

God bless you!

He IS crazy about you!

Daughter of the King by Jamie Grace ft. Morgan Harper Nichols

[Verse 1: Jamie Grace] They tell me I'm too young Tell me I'm not beautiful I'm not good enough I'm not worth anything at all They tell me I dream too much I got my head in the clouds Maybe I'm just hoping For something better than what I see now A world where every girl knows [Chorus 1: Jamie Grace] The Maker of skies, the Maker of seas The Maker of every beautiful thing He made you, He made you too The mountain high, the river wide He tells the sun when to set and rise And He made you, He made you too You're a daughter of the King So tell me, what does that make you? [Verse 2: Morgan Harper Nichols] So put your shoulders back Don't you know that you're beautiful You don't gotta tell 'em that, no Just walk around like you know And if you see our sister (if you see our sister) Looking like she forgot Like her dreams got crushed You better remind her [Chorus 1: Morgan Harper Nichols] The Maker of skies, the Maker o...

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...

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...
