For 3weeks now, I have not written
anything on relationships, not because I don't have anything to write about,
but because there has been this impression that my views about relationships
and sustaining relationships [I share that a lot on tv and radio] are too
idealist and have no place in today's world (aka The Real World)
For me, there is no bigger reality, than the reality that honours and values the gifts we have inspite of the flaws inherent in those gifts. We all have flaws and we all make that sacrifice necessary to keep our relationships alive and beautiful.
A relationship is a gift. It is a miracle and we cannot continue to create blueprints when the giver of the miracle that made you happy has already provided the blueprint for the journey you have embarked upon. So sometimes, the reality we speak of are effectively, issues we are unwilling to compromise about; our ego, our anger, our pride, our comfort and the other things which make it difficult for us to make the amount of sacrifice necessary to sustain our relationships. The issue then is this, Reality or Ideal: To be or not to be
Blessings and more, to you and yours

Hello Brave African,
ReplyDeleteI believe you have been given the gift of writing as you do for a purpose. I think you have a wonderful ability of revealing to people just exactly what love is, the true love that God would wish us to have.
God bless you as you continue in your ministry to others.
Its not always easy to make the sacrifice but trying is always worthwhile. Moe Grace to your elbow Brave African as you continue to live out the purpose of your calling. Shalom!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Brave African,
ReplyDeleteyou was on my mind as I sat on my sofa and I thought I would come in and see if you have put up another post. I hope you have not stopped posting because you feel that someone has persuaded you to. It may not be what God wants you to do. Anyway, God bless you whatever you decide.
I had to add this comment. The word verification when I published my previous comment contained the word 'edify' in it, and that is exactly what I feel you do on this blog.
ReplyDeleteWarmest African greetings to you ma'am. Thank you sooo much for your kind thoughts and your words, which sincerely have uplifted me in the most profound of ways. The assignment is not an easy one, but His word is like fire in my bones. The calling is stronger, much stronger than the noise.
DeleteI promise I won't back down, not with God on my side, and sweet-hearted people like you who are always here to spur me on, and tell me that I make sense. lol
You are indeed a mother of encouragement, and my story will not be complete without a testimony about you.
Best wishes ma. SHALOM
