We did not bring you in to judge you. But we will continue to pray for you. Hopefully, the spirit will talk to you..., *at your own time."*
_The girl was dumbfounded._ And she cried. At nights, *she stayed home.* Going out to look for men gradually became a thing of her past.
She would join the family for morning devotion *and go to church with them on Sundays.*
One day, the woman, *now her landlord of sorts* told her of her husband's decision to pay for her to register in a university. The lady gained admission into a university. *She graduated on top of her class* and got a good job. But even before she graduated, with a university grant for outstanding students, *she had started a business* of her own.
Today, when you enter her office, she has this woman and her husband's photo on the wall behind her desk. The photo has the inscription, _*" " 'My parents,' the only Christians I know''.*_
Folks, what is love? Many Christians cannot answer to this question. We resist the true essence of love.
The truth is, "Christ died for us.'' Why would a righteous man die for sinners? That's what love is.
What can you do for someone even against your intrinsic instincts?
Every one we have chosen not to forgive, deserve forgiveness. That is the sacrifice that a true Christian, who shows true love makes.
Love is not the practice of loving beautiful people. True love is shown by being willing to truly love those that many look down upon.*
How many less fortunate people have you taken home from church after service to feed? Why do we feed the rich, and don't feed the needy?*
Why do we scorn people who look like prostitutes? We look at children who look unkept and we shake our heads in disapproval, warning our children to avoid such people.
But what kind of people do we think that heaven is waiting up there for?
Let's not lose the purpose of life because of what we have almost achieved.
Can someone say of you, *"I met a true believer in you?"*
