Last week Monday, I had a very rough time at school, it wasn't the lectures that made my day rough, it was something more personal. A friend (my coursemate) was speaking about something and I could relate to it so much that what she said made me break down in tears.
At first, I was very reluctant to admit that I could relate to all that she said, so instead I asked her more questions. Curiosity they say doesn't kill the cat. After our class, I held onto her arm dragged her to a corner, and asked if she knew why I had asked all those questions. She replied “No” and so did it begin.
When I explained my reason for asking her, I broke down in tears, friends, I couldn't control how these tears dropped from my eyes onto my face, my human frailty was so visible. At this point, she had stopped talking but kept saying “I’m glad you let me know about this. Thank you!”
Now this was around 5:30 pm there about. My phone was off and I just decided to head home after I had gained some composure and put on my glasses even though I still fought tears back as I walked.
The irony is this, last week, I wrote to you about not giving room to fear and the devil came after my joy the very same day I made the publication. Lol.
I remember laughing amidst tears when I remembered I had written on fear.😭
I had told my friend one thing while I was making an effort to put myself together “I am scared, fire cannot burn me twice”.
Let's return.
As I walked home, I met one of my earliest friends in school and as we walked to the school gate, I was already shaking off the weight on my shoulders, we approached a nice-looking spot and immediately I said “Precious, come and snap me” like a small child.
Friends, I felt lifted in my spirit!
Within minutes, I had forgotten that I even cried. I know you want me to hit the nail on the head and so will I do, but hold on.
When I arrived home, the first I did was power my phone, I needed to make a transaction so I went online. My messages on WhatsApp were coming in, and I had to leave the phone for a while for all to come in.
Friends, when I would finally go through my messages, I saw that a message had come from someone I honored exactly around the time I was crying at school.
It went like this:
Your name came to my heart just now
I hope you are good?
All is well. Jesus is with you always.
For a brief moment. I didn’t know how to respond, I was thinking about how Jesus cared so much that He used a vessel to show me that He was aware of my realities.
The message was sent around the exact time!
What heights of love
What depths of peace
When fears are stilled
When strings cease
My comforter
My all in all
Here in the love of Christ, I STAND.❤️
It's not too late to join this train of love. He's right at the door of your heart, knocking, seeing if you'll let Him in.
Happy New Month too🌟
2 Corin 3:17
Now, the Lord is the spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is there is Freedom.
There is liberty
There is emancipation from bondage.
Till the coming week again. Know that He sees you.🫂🌟
