A GIFT OF LOVE TO THE GIFT OF LOVE
     
     A dearly beloved once had a beautiful notebook he just got. Unfortunately I shared in the love for the notebook and asked to be gifted with it. It was not so easy because he liked the book just as much but later on, I had my wish; how elated I was! It felt like I had the perfect words to write on its pages and I could not wait to get started.
      Years after I am yet to find the perfect words. It was a gift of love and no words seemed perfect. Still carefully wrapped and delicately kept, I realized it was not so much about the gift as it was about the giver and how much it took to part with it. Writing on its pages suddenly felt like scarring loved ones...the gift and the giver, so I would rather cherish it for as long as I get the words that will be worth it...I hope it does not turn out to be a child's scribble 😂

        This I believe is how we are to Jesus. We are a gift of love from God the Father to God the Son (John10:29, John17:6). God the Father loved us so much that when he handed us to God the Son he said "Protect them with your life" and this command was literally obeyed. He won't have anything or anyone touch us or pluck us out of his hands.What a love! 
      God the Son (Jesus) is the good shepherd and as many as are his sheep; hear his voice, obey him and follow him. Jesus is not asking for too much other than for us to hear, obey and follow him, every other thing we will ever need is his to provide not ours to worry about (Matthew 6:33). He is responsible for us not only because he  also shares the Father's love for us but more essentially because he loves the Father and the Father loves him
            
        "Father, I desire that they also whom You have entrusted to Me [as Your gift to Me] may be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory, which You have given Me [Your love gift to Me]; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world." [John17:24: AMP]

This explains why God is so jealous over us. You may want to ask... What determines who God chooses to join the fold?  The aswer is simply Grace and our Faith  in the Grace made available only in Christ Jesus.
       
 "For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God" [Ephesians2:8: AMP]

This brings me to The Gift of Love.
             "For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life." [John 3:16: AMP].

The scriptures already affirms that the Grace has appeared unto all men...which means it is available for you! 
        The other part that completes the most potent love equation is your Faith in Christ Jesus (The gift of love to the world) who went to the cross to prove his love for you!. He will have you carefully wrapped in his love and delicately kept until the perfect day when he can present you again to the Father... Blameless. You are worth more than any worth you can think of placing on yourself. 

You are A GIFT OF LOVE TO THE GIFT OF LOVE.
       If by any means you have obeyed the voice of a stranger and  walked in the path of another other than the lover of your soul. The Grace is still available to find, save and keep you. Turn from your ways, make a decision for Jesus through Faith and you can be sure you are a new creation! JESUS LOVES YOU FROM HERE TO ETERNITY .Shalom! #BeHimspired

                       Master's student...  Once I was on the high way driving like I was the best Little did I know I was no different from the rest We all couldn't differentiate our right from left The lanes became a racing track... everyone was out to outsmart I was getting used to getting hit and hitting others I soon got overly battered Then I realized it wouldn't get better I couldn't drive, I was a learner... Some drivers seemed to know their way  Escaped the little ditches but ended in d bigger ones While some others  looked  so frail  But they passed safely through it all And rather than the learner sign  That  characterized every slow but steady driver They had M. S inscribed at their vehicles' hind What that meant?... My curiosity exactly It must be a driving school.. Doesn't sound cool... I wanted to be Smart all by myself.. But well I could use a little help Will be definitely better than diving headlong into a pool I enroll

FIGHT IN FLIGHT

"Why waste time on any preamble?" She said, as she caressed his temple Though the opportunities to flee were ample But his brain snapped shut as he progressively permitted her seductive snuggle "Why talk about a fast when you have before you, a most appealing apple? " She said, taking a bite as she kissed red lips with the bright red  sample The ambiguity of her words and corresponding actions teased him like bubbles Setting his brain on a rampage common sense could not settle Still, the still small voice warned loudly through his mental wobble But the warning was defiantly buried beneath the moment's rubble In few minutes, one 'apple' lay unclad on the sheets seeking further cuddle While the other's fleshless remain lay as a testimony on the table Flesh could not have been more boastful as he felt his spirit - man crumble Reality dawned on him... How confidently and foolishly he had lost the battle  Years of sexual purity and his

PRESERVED (1)

        Bidemi grew up on the streets of Lagos and home for her was often the space under the staircase of an uncompleted building. A lonely teenager who couldn't understand why life presented only the odds. Her father died when she was just two years of age ... Her mother was too devastated.. She was just too young to be widowed... 28!. Life seemed to pause for two years but seemed to only continue afterwards for her mother alone as she soon met this tall, dark and handsome man who presented to be the cure for her loneliness. One thing soon led to another and soon she was  sitting up a four year old Bidemi to inform her of her decision to get married to the new man... "Uncle Tunji will be your new daddy" was all she could say to get the preschooler to understand... Of course her approval wasn't needed... What did she know?...  The relocation to Uncle Tunji's house was quite swift... No gown, no cake, no rice... Just a faded gold ring on her mother
