Thoughts about GOD and My Affair with HIM

You can buy two sparrows for only a copper coin, yet not even one sparrow falls from its nest without the knowledge of your Father. Aren’t you worth much more to God than many sparrows? 30–31 So don’t worry . For your Father cares deeply about even the smallest detail of your life. - Jesus Christ ( Matthew 10:29-31 (TPT) ) The words "Do not fear/worry" is arguable one of the most commonly said words by God that appear throughout Scripture, right from the old testament all through to the new testament.  If God keeps on saying these words repeatedly, it must mean that He is addressing a prominent aspect of our lives that we are bound to face often while on earth ... the fear of lack/uncertainty. This means that we are bound to worry and be afraid ... a lot.! The first half of the year 2020 has been quite a ride, and a number of us are no longer here with us. So many people are grieving with loss in one form or the other.  Some have lost friends, partners, siblings, relat...

Hello! It has been a stressful period here lately. Asides from the pressures and demands of work, there is undeniable negative energy loaming around as a result of the effects of the coronavirus plaguing the world and its economy at the moment. Businesses are shutting down, sources of livelihood are being sealed off. Apart from the horrible financial implications being borne by many, people are growing hungry, giving in to anxiety, fear, and in some drastic cases, despair . Many are turning to crime, abuse of alcohol, drugs & other things as a coping mechanism. The Divine Mercy Icon (source: Pinterest ) In this chaos, we seem to be experiencing a case of perfect timing as we approach the Feast of Divine Mercy - a feast where we celebrate the immeasurable mercy of God through the Crucified and Wounded Heart of Jesus Christ and also implore abundant mercy and grace upon ourselves and on the world . The Novena began on Good Friday and today is day 6. You can join in ...

(Holy Week/Last Week of Lent) ----------------------------------------------- First Reading:  Isaiah 49: 1-6 Res. Psalm:  Psalm 71: 1-2. 3-4a. 5-6ab & 17 (R.15ab) The verse before the Gospel:  Hail our King! Obedient to the Father; You were led to Crucifixion like a meek lamb to the slaughter . Gospel:  John 13: 21-33. 36-38 ---------------------------------------------- Hello Readers! The first reading speaks of Jesus through the mouth of the Prophet Isaiah. Jesus was brought into this world for a purpose - to bring God's people back to Him by restoring the once perfect relationship that was torn by Sin.  Sin can simply be defined as Man's free will (choice) to not trust God. Every act of Sin stems from disobedience to God's word, and this is usually as a result of a lack of trust in God.  The root cause of theft is the lack of trust in God to meet our needs . The root cause of g reed is the lack of trust in God to su...

28 “Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke and put it on you, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest. 30 For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light.”   Matthew 11: 28-30 Are you too tired sometimes? Have you ever felt so tired that you feel you’re at your end, with just a slight provocation? Do you sometimes feel as if everything around you is trying to bring you down? I have felt this way a couple of times. One would think that I would be more mature when handling such a feeling due to familiarity. It is only logical to be able to dust off such a feeling because I didn't die the other time. So, yeah, I would survive this right?  If it is meant to be so, why do I find myself always breaking down from the familiar overwhelming feeling? My most recent moment of feeling such an overwhelming burden literally brok...
