Rend Your Heart to your God and Saviour

-
Today marks the beginning of lent, a season of 40 days before Easter Matthew 4:1-2. All Christians and non christians are called to fast as God ordained in the Holy Scriptures. During this period, we are called to prepare for Easter through prayer, doing penance, mortifying the flesh, repentance of sins, almsgiving, and self-denial. In order to prepare for the celebration of the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The greatest part about this fasting, is repentance, asking for God’s forgiveness. Joel 2:12-18

Repent of your sins and turn away from your bad habits. Jesus is so merciful and wonderful that He will not close His ears to your prayers. Offer your life and all of you to Him and you will not be disappointed. This is a great period for you to create in yourself the desire to do God’s will and to make His kingdom come by making it come first in your heart. It  is a great opportunity for you to spend time in prayer seeking God’s will for you and your life. 
The World is not for us, we are part of this world but we are not its citizens,  John 17:16. We are citizens of Heaven where the president is Jesus Christ. That is why we should not worry much about this world and all its worldly and meaningless treasures and goods. Matthew 6:33 recommends us to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 
All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Ecclesiastes 3:20.
May this season be a time of reflection and promise. 
Humbly

Thank you for revealing to me the mysterious true meaning of Sisterhood and Brotherhood.   I used to think that 24 hours was way too much for an individual to spend without communicating.  Today’s reality is hitting harshly more than ever.   Having special people in your life that hold a special place in your life is a blessing. However, I never knew that these individual's values could  easily be replaced by social media, school, and life circumstances. Corona has been a destructive agent yet a truth-teller for many   Today made me realize that I can be invisible without having to rely on superpowers  Thank you Miss Rona, I now know those who are worthy of my attention and energy.  I can only be grateful for the small yet substantial social circle that God has blessed me with.   It is only today that I realize that a simple "how are you?"  Has a deeper meaning than "I love you".  Three similar words yet so different in their own ways....

You are actually stronger than you could possibly imagine or think. I am speaking based on experience. The younger me, used to underestimate the invisible yet present power of God that operates in the universe and in human beings. Naive as I was, I could only see my small person, without acknowledging the transcending power and presence of God in me and in my life.   Last summer, as I decided to pursue one among many of my goals, I was presented with many obstacles and constraints that made me want to quit. Initially before pursuing this dream of mine, I had prayed to God to please assist me in achieving it. As people would say, every beginning has its own challenges but for me, the beginning seemed like eternity. Problems were presented to me without a break in different packages. It was very discouraging and disappointing at a certain moment. If it was not for God, I would not have made it where I am today.   It is true that the devil will always look for means to tempt our ...
