Finally I See

Written By my cousin Ruth Obozua.... After years of dreaming, and constantly believing that one day I would be 'in' love, deep in love, real love. Not on the side walk of lust which is a fabricated image of what true love is;  filled with fleeting, never satisfied desire sugar coated sin, but in love. I'm not in a place where I'm giving and love isn't reciprocated back, and instead emotional blackmail of the heart is given (aka abuse), but in love where to give  certainly means to receive. Neither am I in a place where what I deem as love is love, but in reality is darkness and bondage of the soul. A web entangling myself in invisible threads of supposed romance and ties of emotional, spirit dividing chords that need divine power to break. I'm in love, a love that's freeing. A love that's redeeming, a love that's fresh, so pure and so scared. So if I'm correct, and I say God is love (which He is) and wants me to be a partaker of His k...

Luke 17:11-19 If you read the verses from above you will be taken back to a well-known story of the ten men who had leprosy... To give you a quick summary, ten men had a leprosy decease, which was very deadly, and made them all isolated from the rest of others. Jesus came alone and didn’t see separation, but love and had the willingness to heal them. All ten where healed but only one realised this and returned back to Jesus, fell at His feet and said ‘Thank You’. When I hear and read this story I really feel one of the strong points about this passage was not only the main fact that Jesus can heal us of our sickness, but most of all the gratitude the one man of the ten expressed in verse 15 -16 and this is what he said and done..." One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him..." You see, the thing is, I believe God is showing us this about our selves (Character, Attitude,...

Just as the light brings a clearer view into a room, or eliminates the darkness with its rays. So your beauty should be seen in the midst of people you meet. Beauty never really needs to be explained or dictated. It should be seen and gazed upon & admired, never threatening but inviting. For our beauty to fade into the mist of ‘norm’ or be taken captive by creative mainstream images can only be hurtful to our personal beauty and not bring across the bright delight it should. Staying away from things that could damage your beauty, like negative thoughts, not thinking your good enough, worth it or even a treasure is a must. Begin to look at yourself as God see you, otherwise known as Beautifully made. Begin to check yourself out and be grateful for the person He has created you to be. Let your beauty continue to shine and let people completely feel invited to want to talk to you, want to get to know you and may just want to date, marry and dine with you. In the...

In one of these doors, I work. As beautiful as it looks on the outside, what does the inside hold? What stories are told? What words are exchanged? And how are people really treated? The thing is, this could be the same with our personal lives (body, mind & soul) At times we can look all glam & glitzy on the outside, not showing any indication of flaws, but truly what are we dealing with on the inside. Could it be utter mess, pain, sadness, shame or just plain old negativity? In Matthew 15:18 'But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.' Therefore correct me if I'm wrong; the flip side must mean, if our hearts are right & so is our mindset, then surely our mouths will speak of greatness rather than deceit? Pointer: As much as we strive to take care of our outside appearance, we should also take more care of our inner self. Living, acting & behaving right is only but the start....

Don't these shoes look awesome? Well, their not mines, they belong to my cousin Mary. The thing is I look up to my big cousin, and as high as these heels are she glides with ease. However with me on the other hand, it takes some time, uncomfortable feelings & sometimes pain, (hey, don't judge me, yes, I'm still learning to walk in heels). The thing is, I wanted to be just like her and walk in all these glamour heels. And at the age of 20/21, I dated this guy who liked his ladies in heels. And yes I liked him at the time, so I wanted to please him. My next actions was going into Top Shop and buying a pair of boot heels. I still remember them till today, they looked cute from the outside, black & sophisticated, but boy once they went on maybe half an hour, they began to hurt. You could say I was walking like a 'chicken'... Lol... Heels were just not for me at that time. See, we as ladies look great in heels and there are certain ones that ...

Hey Beautiful’s , I love reading Joseph Prince Daily Grace Inspirations , it always inspires me to move forward, with my head lifted high, reminding me that I am not condemned, but free and forgiven and this truth/hope is the same for you. Below you will find today's Grace Inspiration by Joseph Prince. As I was encouraged I hope you also will be. .Keep being beautiful . Hebrews 10:12, 14, KJV 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God... 14 For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. God sees you with no flaw, spot or imperfection, so honour His Word and the finished work of His Son by saying, “Amen!” Don’t doubt your perfection in Christ. To see yourself, as far from being perfect is not modesty, but a failure to understand the perfect sacrifice that Jesus has made for you. The Bible tells us, “For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified”. Did you ge...

As I laid in my bed with the curtains opened I looked up to see a star. It was smiling down on me with its glittering lights, winking saying hello. As I re-angled myself in my bed, I realised it started to disappear, where did my glittering friend just go? Moving back only to see it was still there. Then a thought came to mind….. Just as we see the star, so you see God ever present looking down and smiling on you. And even though you may turn away from Him or go into places that may seem so dark, He is still there. Meaning, God is everywhere even if you can't see Him. Oh what great joy to know & see God taking the time to teach us such a great lesson in the midst of creation. For when I looked up again the star was now gone. Lesson well learnt. Remember in the small or big things God is ever so present. It's just us who need to take the time out to look upon it and stand still to embrace all that He has to teach, express or just show us. And when we do. We...
