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 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...

Day twelve: My Shepherd

I was reading the book, "In Him" by Kenneth E. Hagin and in the book, he wrote: The Lord Is my Shepherd. I do not want. I do not want for ability. I do not want to strength. I do not want for money. I do not want for anything. The Lord is my Shepherd.  These words by this man ministered life to me and it got me thinking: So often, we find ourselves reading Psalm 23 and it is easy for us to just look at those words exactly as they are in the Bible without translating them into our present circumstances and the seasons in which we find ourselves.  The angle provided by Kenneth Hagin has shed light on who Jesus really is as my Shepherd.  He is not the kind of Shepherd who wants to be irrelevant in the affairs of His sheep.  He very much wants to be a part of it.  Consequently, as a Shepherd who sees to it that His sheep lack no good thing, He remains committed to ensuring that all our needs and lack are provided for. It says, there is nothing I shall want .  W...
