What Network do you Use?
I do not know if to call this a return.
After a few months of taking an unplanned break, I'm back to communicating with you through my weekly letters. I remember when I started off writing these letters, I genuinely hoped to be consistent with them, but I let life happen to me.
Without stressing it, I am back! Obvious innit? Lol😂.
Now, how have you been?? Be honest in your response.
If you ask me how I have been, my only fitting response would be, that I am endlessly trying to choose joy and it has not been a smooth walk I kid you not, I've cried ehnn😂😂 but regardless, I have proposed in my heart that I will not conform to fear or anxiety (even though I still have palpitations sometimes) lol.
I am learning to be completely vulnerable with my Father and of course, confidently subscribing to His network because I do not fear that one day, out of the blue, there will be no service provider or that the network will fail, or even that there will be a pause in the flow of connection due to some kind of upgrade in the network.
His network is without limits or restraints, I do not have to repeat my *hellos* once He’s on the line, and I do not see a reconnection on the other end that might lead me to end the call because His network is constant.
My affiliations with this network gradually formed into an ever-thickening bond an endless cycle shared between me and my network provider. Sometimes, I trail off, but His network signals to me through diverse means that I'm beginning to get out of touch with the service that understands my realities.
I have no shame admitting the deepest and darkest fumblings of my being because this network encapsulates all I have to say and leads me into godly sorrow which leads me to genuine repentance.
With this network, I do not fear that I might say the wrong things or reveal too much information as regards my human frailty and errors.
I should introduce you to this network in case you are still not acquainted with it. Dear friend, this network is not distant, it's not a hard nut to crack, and your chance with this network is not gone, Meet GRACE, the network provided by the one who loved me first which has never failed.
My former network provider used to be enacted by fear, I not only embraced it so much I also permitted it to hold a high pedestal on the heart my lover yearned for. But no more will fear raise its disgusting head and I bow to it, never again would fear boast in having me held captive and I consent to it.
Hello grace
It feels like forever, I thought my chance with you was gone
See your face, it reminds me of mercy
And please let me say I was wrong
Never knew your touch was endless
How you never run dry of forgiveness
Didn't know how bad it was, was afraid just because
Sorry fear, grace took your place
Never again will I love you
My heart it refuses to be your home
No longer your prisoner
Today I remember
Apart from you is where I belong
And never again will I trust you
I'm tired of fighting it's been way too long
No longer your prisoner
Today I remember
Who I was and now it's gone
Adaptation from Kirk Franklin’s “Hello Fear”

Meditation: 2Corin 12:9.
“Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT
Arrivederci!
