Now playing: My lover- Ty Benson
This should have reached you since mid February, but let’s just thank God it’s here right now. A little explanation on why is in the caption of this video.
The thoughts i have captured in this letter are things i constantly remind myself about, and they are the things i meditate on like 40% of the time.
I hope that you meditate on them too, and take actions where needed. love yewww
1. You need to make peace with the stupid things you’ve done. FORGIVE YOURSELF. Aren’t you tired of cringing and wallowing in guilt every time you remember things you did? Are you not a better person now? You have Christ now, and he doesn’t remember those things, so why are you doing ominiknowest?? He has saved you, let the power of God flood your heart and mind. Ask Holy Spirit for help. But really, you’re young (or not) and learning. This is not to say you shouldn’t take responsibility for your actions, but what I’m saying is- you have learned to forgive others as Christ helps you, It is time to extend that grace to yourself and let go of all the weight. It should also spur you to preach the gospel. You have received the light of God, preach the gospel of Christ so others in the darkness can be saved just like you have.
2. Love is an extremely weird concept: With every passing day, it gets weirder. I’m not sure I know how to explain this properly, but love is an insane thing. Even the love of Jesus! oh the overwhelming, reckless love of God. Every moment I spend thinking about love in it’s entirety, the love of Jesus and the love we share amongst our relationships- family, friendships and romantic relationships, it gets more confusing and I get goosebumps. lol.
Honestly, I’m not sure I can fully capture my feelings about love in one article. But I have come to a conclusion. Love is not of this world. It is such a precious gift and component of God that he has shared with us, and it will never make complete sense here on earth. Jesus is a perfect example, and as believers, we will most likely often get to that point where we get overwhelmed by the love of God, and it pushes us to utter and complete surrender all over again. The world, you, and I didn’t do anything to earn this love, but YET HE CAME TO DIE.
Love is Great. It’s the reason why you’re here, why we’re all here.
Lastly, have you ever looked at a person and wondered why you loved them? and it didn’t make any sense because… you just do.
4. God is infinite: You know how when you’re overthinking and mapping out a couple of scenarios that could possibly occur from an event, and you can map out two, sometimes 5 ways that it could go. No more twists and turns. And when God showed up, He manifested in a way you never thought about. In all the ways you thought about it, you never saw the way God manifested as a possible scenario.
God is BIG! So why do we think so small? Our Father who created the world can give us all things, or rather, HAS GIVEN us all things. Why then do we have little dreams? Who conditioned us to be like this? The men of old were not this way- they did big things, even without the existence of technology. Dear reader, think big! Your God is big!
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV
Think on these three things and let me know your thoughts in the comments. I’ll be waiting.
Till I write you again,
Keep your eyes on Jesus.
Thank you Iyanu❤️
