Life matters

People owe you nothing! DISCLAIMER: This table does not totally exclude me, so it's not an attack🙏🏽 I believe our hurts will reduce considerably if we FIRST, reduce the expectations we have of people. You should stop it! Stop thinking they can make you happy. Stop thinking that because they're a rich aquaintance, then they should be able to spare you some of their money. Stop! Stop thinking that because they have a high social status and they're 'close' to you, it should not be a big deal for them to use their connection to fix you in a good place. Infact ehn, Stop thinking that your parents are supposed to fend for you simply because they're your parents(I'm sure you're above 10). Save yourself some heartaches, because sincerely, that's just you feeling entitled and your sense of entitlement will do you little good. Now when you do actually get these benefits from people, agree that you are BLESSED. That's the sole reason, not because of some

He rarely fought with his friend, but obviously something had caused a rift between them because, they were exchanging words in angry bursts, his friend said something that hit really low, it was obvious the friend said it to hurt him, oh his heart pumped hard as he got infuriated, how could that have come out from his friend's mouth?

"I don't know what came over me" because he is

Abraham, Sarah and Hagar - A pot mix of mess My Dad said something in one of the meetings we held recently, he said when one time he was contemplating taking a particular step, after he had prayed concerning a matter and he made no headway, he felt that taking this step was going to be his only way out. God asked him; " Do you think I can't do this thing for you? " he answered in his heart. "God, I know you can do it, it's just that your own takes time" It sounded funny, because most of us could relate with it. And partly it's the truth:  It can be very hard to wait on God because His timing is really very different from ours. But the reason is: He is working with His plan, not ours.  And we must train ourselves to work at his own pace, if not we'd get frustrated at how long he's taking and it may make us try to rush past him, and then we will end up making the mother of all messes. That's how I can describe the mess Abraham made by sleeping
