Love like no other....

Time has passed. I have lost a mother, my mother. And I am a mother myself now. Glory to God! I can't tell you to what extent becoming a mum helped me heal. The dreams have finally stopped. The constant replay of the worst moments of my life have drastically reduced, the depression, the tears. I'm now positively distracted and occupied with taking care of my little miss.

You see, I love deeply. I love sincerely. When I love someone I love really hard, and boy, I have loads of loved ones! But I experienced a different level of love the minute I set my eyes on my daughter....

Gosh... that is what love is... unadulterated,stainless, pure, selfless. With her coming I've come to see things in a totally different way. Now I understand why my mum had no period of rest while she lived. Now I know why she did all she did. We didn't have the best life growing up, but mummy kept striving to make our lives better, to keep us happy. How nice it would have been to have had a chance to pamper her even a little bit in return. Alas, no such luck. But it's all good. When you can't change a situation you best not beat yourself up over it. Anyway,....

We've had tonnes of sleepless nights since we became parents. It's not easy in the least. It is not easy! But it's okay. For the sake of love.

When she's even slightly poorly, we do everything in our power to make her well again. We pray, make trips to the hospital, steam baths,etc. Just everything; All for love.

I want to see her in the best clothes. I would rather shop for her now than for anything else. God only knows how much of our finances go on her matter. But it's okay. . For the sake of love.

At the same time, we don't give her everything she wants. She likes to play with everything she shouldn't and she would cry when she's stopped. Seeing her cry isn't easy. Yet, it's for best as she could get hurt otherwise. So to keep her safe, she's better off crying all she wants now. Love.

I plan what my baby eats way ahead of time. I think about how best to balance up her meals for maximum nutrients. She shouldn't go hungry. Not my baby!

Yet I'm a mere human.

If you then who are evil (natural minded)know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your FATHER who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him? Matthew 7:11

Pray, and if nothing happens, pray some more! Sometimes we have to ask, ask and ask people we love and who love us for particular favours or things we want. Eventually, they give in, we get what we want. Especially if they will bring no harm to us at all.

What is that thing you need?
What does the doctor's report say?
What is it you're worried about?


See all the trouble we go through to keep our daughter happy. The love of God can be likened yet incomparable to what we feel for our children. Just like I fell in love with my daughter as soon as I saw her, Your heavenly father is crazy about you too. Right from before you were formed in your mother's womb. Jeremiah 1:5.

See him as your father. See it like this, just as you wouldn't hold back any good gifts from your children, he won't hold it back from you. Reach out with your hand of faith and get what is yours. Prosperity, health,  children, a husband, a wife etc.

Similarly,  he won't give you what you shouldn't have. My baby is clueless about the impending harm if she plays with wires or a pile of boxes etc. She'll only know and cry when it's too late. So I stop her. I prevent her from harm even though she isn't happy with me at the time.

He will hold back from you, that which isn't right for you. Just trust him.


Settle these in your hearts.  He wants you in the best clothes, cars, houses and jobs. He wants you alive and well.  He wants you rich. He just wants you happy. He's your mother and your father. There's only good stuff in heaven, err... that's where God is. Remember?

       Every good and every perfect gift is              from above and comes down from the            father of lights, with whom there is no          variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:16.

He loves it when you call him FATHER. He loves it when you scoot over to him with your needs and problems. He wants you to cuddle up with him. He wants you to be his baby. He likes it when you act like what you are to him- a child- his child.

  Then Jesus called to the disciples;"Let the little children come to me. Don't stop them! For the kingdom of God is for those who are like these children. Luke 18:16.

Ponder on the love of God this new year. That way, your faith will increase and you will get ALL the desires of your heart according to his will for you.

Trust him and see.



Happy new year!

He may be judge to
the world, and God
to the sinner, but
He is FATHER to me!
