“WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THE KINDNESS OF MY HUSBAND?” (REPOST)

That was me to my hubby last night as he served the boys and me the most delicious dinner. He didn’t eat with us because he was entertaining a guest, but we enjoyed ourselves without him. Then, this morning, they woke me up to eat a big breakfast with them, and even though I’m not a breakfast eater, I said, ‘Nik, you must eat!’ after hubby said they weren’t eating without me.

With all this love I’m receiving from hubs and the boys now that I’m back in Nigeria, my assignment from God showed up in a Bible verse:

“Honor those leaders who work so hard for you (that’s my husband!)… Overwhelm them with appreciation and love.” 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13

Watching a Whatsapp message this morning about how a country has forgiven another country for an atrophic war act, I was reminded that this is where God wants us all, going overboard with love and forgiveness for everyone. God’s love, mercy, and faithfulness are renewed every day for us, and that’s where we should be with everyone. In fact, I’ve promised God to be that loving, kind, and forgiving person He has called me to be in every moment, seeking to please Him in everything I do and say. Everything is between God and us, not between us and anyone else.

Instead of worrying, I’m handing over the difficult parts of the battles with God knowing I handle nothing alone. My strength, wisdom, and guidance come from the Lord! God exceeds my expectations and gives me even more than I can ask or expect from Him. Let’s all commit to a stronger relationship with God, aiming to make everything we do, say, and even think pleasing to Him as we enjoy the sweet (even though difficult sometimes) with Him as our loving Partner. He said to me in an appointment with Him, say anything I want to Him, but to others, I should be silent. I should hide all my ugliness in His heart (it’s a hospital!). God, done.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” – Galatians 5:22-23
