I Gave My Gem Away for Free

 Understanding...


How would you feel if someone took what belonged to you, let's say a diamond, without your knowledge?

Crazy question, right?

Of course you'd be furious!

Why would this person take what was mine? 

How dare he/she?

This person obviously knows that this precious jewel, this beautiful possession is mine and still has the audacity to take it! 

But here's a simple truth, you didn't even know it was yours to begin with and so, all of the drama wouldn't hold water, and most definitely would not be taking place.

Now here's the unique thing. The scenario above depicts how we truly are today!

We basically do not know what we have!

We do not know essentially whom we are.

We walk around with our golds in our pockets without a care in the world because we do not know the value of what we have in us and even without our knowledge, this priceless possession is swiped from us right under our noses and we're left with nothing but a shadow of the glory and power that we are meant to have.

This is exactly how it is in our relationships. When we do not know the value of what we have or of the role a person plays, we get side-tracked by other elements and these things leave us in utter defeat.

What's more, our relationship with God.

When we have no understanding and knowledge of the value of God in our lives, we seem to get distracted by the situations of life and then, loose the most precious of gems.

God is not an author of confusion, and he most certainly will never be but when we seem to want to pave a way based on our own understanding, the literal meaning of confusion begins to be displayed.

The reason why you're doing what you're doing and still seem to feel frustrated about it is because you chose to do it out of your own understanding.

Pick up off where you left, go back to the one who has understanding, trust Him to unravel your valuable possessions and see the hand of God be made manifest.

I most likely have jumped from pillar to post on this one, but I do know that there is a reason for this.

God Loves You.

For the moments when you feel stuck!

  I started this year with a lot of enthusiasm... I remained expectant for the best. I had plans that I wanted to accomplish, and I wasn't going to miss it. As time went on, things started going off track, and I wasn't having it. I tried all that I could to keep everything in order, but the more I tried, the more I fell apart. I was losing myself and my focus.  I was always feeling guilty about things that I did and didn't do. At the end, I broke down. I thought that I just needed to be strong, but I realised that I needed a mind shift, and this shift occurred in the most unique way ever. I had to learn by letting go. Strength wasn't the only thing that mattered to me at this moment, and I realise that now. This write-up isn't to confuse or give you a reason to pity me but to remind you that in moments where you think that all you'll need is your strength and willpower, Abba is calling you to depend on him more. While I had my plans, and of course planning is go...

Starting All Over Again

7:44pm  Saturday, 16th, November 2024. It's been a long while since I've been up in this space. I just read a post from a few months back and it made me realize that I really miss writing. It's been like what? A few months? A year maybe without consistently writing on the blog. In these few months that have passed though, I have grown, and I am learning constantly to be patient with myself. I've had time to read, develop, and basically build on myself. One thing is certain though, I still have a lot to learn, and this is only the beginning of my life's journey...  Okay, okay... I think I've somewhat started it or maybe gone through a mock phase of life's journey. Hmmm...  I've experienced growth, and I can see what the Lord is doing in my life. I see how intentional God is about each and every one of his children.  Just a head's up to all old and new readers, there's a lot of God in my writeups and I'm unapologetic about it. I love the Lord s...

Choosing to Trust God

This has to be the most trying moment of my life. 1 John 5:4 – For every child of God defeats this evil world by trusting Christ to give the victory. Have you ever experienced fear so much that you could cut it with a knife? Over the course of this year, I have felt anxiety that would be considered toxic for anyone. On most days, it felt deafening, and all I wanted to do was cry. On other days, I'd pull myself together and try to fix the pieces.  I had to ask myself, "Why?"  I wasn't like this before! I had moments where I was scared, but never anything like this. I could feel myself drowning in self-pity when I knew that I could be courageous and take a step further, but I remained here... in this dark place. The moments ahead of me were ones where I had to make real choices for my life, and I was afraid of making the wrong choices and of remaining small. I didn't want to miss out on the good things of life and make a mistake that was costly for me, and so I chos...
