Today
I share on a few things I have been learning.
Ø We all have a story to
tell and a wound to heal, a deeper glance into these reveal a beautiful
reality.
My short life has been marked by some unprecedented
heartbreaks, having to say good-bye to some friendships, made terrible
mistakes, sunk into shame, guilt and emotional pain. In these moments, I have
known and felt God’s warm embrace, experienced His deep love and mercy and I have
found healing. I don't know what your story looks like but, you are uniquely
poised for this very moment, to share an intimate part of God's character, this
the place of untold stories, the place of healing rain, it’s a sacred ground.
Ø It is okay not to be
okay. In my ‘not okay’ moments I
have known God as my safe place, my
home, my shelter, my strong tower, my song, the oxygen in my weary lungs, my
protector, my strength and shield, my hope, my God
I have learnt that when I fall, I must always get up again! Always confess up again! Always pray up again! Always live up again! Always look up again! James 4:8, "and He will draw nigh to you." God
has always responded to my repentance, He has always taken the next step toward
me after I "draw nigh."
Ø He is the Lord of the
restoration, He has turned my stories and
wounds into beautiful realities, in my ‘not okay’ moments, He has breathed in
me His Grace, and caused me to exhale His love and Mercy.
When the wild locust has scavenged, and I have walked through
dark valleys, He has restored me. Instead of ashes, He has bestowed crowns of
beauty, instead of despair He has clothed me with a garment of praise, instead of
shame, He has given me a double portion, instead of disgrace, I have rejoice in
my inheritance. His love for us, we cannot comprehend.
I pen this to encourage everyone, wife or mother who thinks
they have been to hell and back, there is hope in Christ Jesus.
Loads of love
Shikoh!!
