Day twenty-six: Daddy's heart concerning us

I sincerely hope I successfully post this piece without breaking down in my office today.
Holy Spirit, cause me to baby-cry if I have to.

Jeremiah 2:31-32 The Message (MSG)

31-32 “What a generation you turned out to be!
    Didn’t I tell you? Didn’t I warn you?
Have I let you down, Israel?
    Am I nothing but a dead-end street?
Why do my people say, ‘Good riddance!
    From now on we’re on our own’?
Young women don’t forget their jewelry, do they?
    Brides don’t show up without their veils, do they?
But my people forget me.

    Day after day after day they never give me a thought

I came across this piece of Scripture early this morning and I was moved to tears. 
I could feel Our Father's heart on this matter.

Beloved, has Daddy been unfaithful to us?
Has He been a dry and desolate place in our lives?
Has He brought only harm and destruction our way?
Has He not loved us enough?
Has He not been our peace enough?

Then why are we so quick to get rid of Him.

I see young people who are living in greater levels of religion.
They go to church on Sundays and sometimes disregard and desecrate the very Holy Grounds they stand on.

Has the Lord been so mean to us?

Why then are we stabbing Him in the back?
Why do we keep nailing His beloved son to the Cross by our actions.
Many are they who are sleeping around, entertaining evil and intentionally going farther and farther away from Him.
People are killing their fellow man.
Vituperation spills from the mouths of church people.
We are very quick to rain insults on our leaders.
We laugh at people and call it a 'joke'.
We mock people, slander men and still say we are for God.

Has the Lord been unjust to us?
Has He not given us Grace upon Grace and blessing upon blessing?

Why do we disregard Him?
Why do we fail to acknowledge His presence in our lives?
Why do we blatantly IGNORE Him?

Why are we living so loosely.
Why are we careless?

Going to church on a Sunday is not an obligation when it comes to Him.
He wants your heart.
He wants your acknowledgement and recognition that He exists and that He wants a relationship with you.

He cares for His own;
We throw mud in His face.

For how long will we continue treating Him like He doesn't exist?
For how long will we act like we don't care when actually, we care a lot.

Do you know how much it hurts when you love someone and that person doesn't love you back?
When you are willing to do anything just to show how much committed you are to that person and yet that person does not recognise you as such?

It hurts.

Can a Person intricately create something He does not like?
Can a Person pour life into something He does not love?

Why do you keep pushing Him away with your words and by your actions?
Why do you keep stabbing Him in the heart.

Is there a way to let you know that the very moment you were born to this Earth His heart skipped a beat because He knew you had entered an atmosphere where you could easily forget Him?
Is there a way to let you know that ever since you were born to this Earth He has been waiting for you to call Him, Friend, Father and Confidante?

He has always always always seeking your attention.
Always waiting for you to call on Him.

Even if to say, "I need You".

He has been waving at you, trying to get your attention from among the multitude of people who have stolen your attention.

He has been waiting for you for so long.

Stop it.

Stop pushing Him away with your actions.

Stop it.

Stop grieving the heart of Our Father.

Stop it. I beg you please, stop it. 

For how long will you keep acting this way?

Please, stop ignoring Daddy.

He calls. Please, reach out to Him.

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 eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram  a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached.  My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,  holding promise for both the present life  and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?!  Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes...

Day One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing,  especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely.  After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means:  if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure.  I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be...
