#LengthyPost
Today I was thinking about all my years on earth and lessons I've learnt.
I remembered the day I wholeheartedly prayed to for death.
I so wanted to die since I found every second of my stay on earth useless.
Now a thought popped up in my mind " what if God answers all prayers"
That means I would have been long forgotten.
We often ask
"Why didn't God answer my prayers?" "why did He let this happen?"
Is God a wicked God?.
Why does He turn deaf ears sometimes to our pleas
I watched a movie yesterday.
A young man bore bitter feeling of resentment toward God just because he prayed to God to save his father and yet he died.
A priest told him
God is just like our parents.
They love and care for you yet they don't give you everything you ask for.
Not because they don't have it but because they see what you don't see.
I remember as a child I had at one point disliked my parents because I felt they didn't do things my way.
I felt they were being wicked and perhaps hated me.
But today it all makes sense.
All their actions makes sense now.
It was out of love
I was looking at the present, they were seeing my tomorrow.
God sent His only begotten son to die for us.
He didn't hate Jesus.
Even Jesus prayed for the cup to pass over him but God ignored.
Not because He hated Jesus but because He was creating a better tomorrow.
God is our Creator.
God loves you.
God cares about you.
His thought about you is for good.
He didn't answer your prayer for a reason.
It might not make sense to you.
But I tell you today whatever God allows to occur in your life is not by mistake.
You lost that job.
You lost a loved one.
You failed an exam.
You went through pain.
And all these you prayed to God yet He didn't answer.
I know it's difficult to deal with.
I've been there a thousand times and I was in this situation last month😥.
But I tell you if only God would open your eyes to His will for your life, you definitely would understand His love towards you.
You would understand why that prayer wasn't answered.
You will understand why you had to fail that exam.
You will understand a lot you perhaps hate God for now.
I know it is still hard to understand why you had to go through that difficult phase.
But please never doubt God's love towards you.
Trust in Him.
Believe in Him.
Love Him.
Ask for more of Him and less of you for that way you might come to understand certain mysteries regarding your life.
God loves you
God loves you
I don't know who desperately need to hear this.
God loves you more than you can ever imagine.
Please get to know God.
You can't be far from Him and know His plans for you.
Accept God today.
Take out every resentment from your heart and embrace God today.
Accept Him as your Lord and personal saviour.
The grace to love you.
The grace to trust every process.
The grace to hold on and never let go.
The grace to free my heart of all resentment.
Dear Lord.
I need that grace🙏🏽
I have a habit of reading biographies of Christians.
I read about Raquel Jacob, Olayode Juliana(Toyo baby), Mr Cosmos Maduka etc.
These great individuals had a rough start, middle and are still going through some test of faith.
They experienced lots of unanswered prayers.
They lost their loved ones.
They went through worse situations.
But that trusted God.
In all phase they saw God.
Today we celebrate them.
But that's possible because they understood God's plan for them.
And they trusted evey phase.
If you care for Juliana's(Toyo baby) book "Rebirth"
