(Ponder Wednesday): My Lover and I, your lover and you...

-

A few days ago, I was told that my aunt, who has two young daughters, was coming to visit us. I hadn't seen her in some months, so I was excited. Even more exciting was the fact that I hadn't seen her daughters in years.

That day, unavoidably, I got home late. I greeted my aunt, and her first daughter came to greet me.
Ah! Only in JSS3 and, by God, she is already towering over me!😭😂

The next morning, I came out of my room and, as I turned after closing my door, I heard,
"Aunty Mama, good morning!"
Haaahhhhhhh!!!!!
See me, see the second daughter o! I couldn't even hide my surprise. Primary One! PRIMARY ONE!! And she is already at my shoulder level! What exactly are these children eating these days?

Gorgeous, this story does not concern you at all. I know...
I just wanted to remind everyone as I was recently reminded, that I am a very short woman.😭
Thank you for telling me "sorry."
One day... I will grow tall. Haters won't believe me🥲
──────────

Anyways...
Come.
Imagine me sitting beside you in any setting of your choice. It's raining outside, we're both holding cups of whatever hot drink you love most. The room is warm and cosy and a soft piano melody is filling the room with quiet worship.

Can you picture it?
How does it make you feel?

Slow down...
Stay with me for a moment.
──────────

Did you know God has a rhythm?
He flows.
I didn't come to say much today, so I'll simply leave that thought with you.
──────────

Oh, Gorgeous...
There is something incredibly beautiful about worshipping God in secret.
Alone.
No camera.
No audience.
No partner.
Just you... and your Lover.
There, you cry, you laugh, you sing, you dance, and you sit in silence. You fall asleep in His presence and wake up knowing He is still there, you simply bask in the beauty of His presence.

You're not asking Him for anything.
Your heart is simply singing,
🎵
"My gracious Redeemer,
My Saviour, art Thou.
If ever I loved Thee,
My Jesus, 'tis now."
🎵

As for me, I could walk away from every job, every engagement, every distraction...
Just to remain in that atmosphere.
Hidden.
In secret.
Just my Lover...
and me.

What about you?

Let the piano keep playing in your mind.
Perhaps, listen to THIS as you spend sometime alone; Your Lover, and you.


Your Lover is waiting to spend time with you.

Soft reminder,
Mama.🤍

Did you know there is such a thing as "spiritual adultery"? No, no... that's not what I want to write about today.😂 One morning, as I woke up, this phrase just kept ringing in my head, so I quickly picked up my notepad and wrote it down. So yes... another misleading heading for the win.😅🫣 ******* Today, however, I want to talk about something closely related: the importance of being rooted in a local church. Gorgeous, you see, we all have different pathways with God. Our individual purposes are intricately woven by Him and Him alone. A local church serves as a torch, helping to point us in the direction God is leading us. For some people, they may be born into one denomination and, in time, God may lead them into another. And that is perfectly okay. For others, however, they may leave the church they grew up in only to find that God continually draws them back because that is where He desires them to grow, serve, and fulfil the assignment He has given them....

Gorgeous, I don't really have a lesson for you today. No long story, no deep revelation, and no "once upon a time..."😂 I just wanted to stop by and remind you of a few things. You see, life can get noisy. Sometimes, we become so focused on what's next that we forget to appreciate where we are. So today... Take a deep breath and look around you. There is still something beautiful about your life, even if it doesn't feel perfect right now. Someone is grateful for your smile. Someone is thankful that you exist. Someone's life is different because you crossed their path. You may not always see it, but your life carries more weight than you know. If you've been feeling tired lately, rest. If you've been feeling discouraged, don't make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions. If you've been feeling forgotten, remember that being unseen by people is not the same as being unseen by God. And if you've been carrying the weight of...

Gorgeous, I would need you to sit down while reading this because I really want you to understand what I'm trying to say.🙏🏾 First, sing this song with me, if you don't mind. 🎵 Everything, Everything, Lord, You are everything to me. Everything, Everything, Lord, You are everything to me. My treasure, My priority, Who can compare to You? Great is the measure of Your royalty. O Lord, I'll serve You till the end... With everything. 🎵 Thank you, Gorgeous.😘 ────────── Have you ever loved someone without a reason? I mean... whether they loved you back or not, whether they gave you anything in return or not, you were still hopelessly, helplessly in love with them. Have you ever loved someone so much that, if all things were equal, you could gladly exchange your life for theirs? Think about that for a second. Currently, it feels like 90% of the world is either in a relationship or married. Singles in the building, can I get a "Hell yeah!"?😂😂 (If you'...
