I LOVE MY GOD WINKS!
They are when, out of the blue, everything lines up strangely too perfectly to be coincident. Like I called my husband around 2:30 am in Nigeria. We ended up talking about an hour and a half, and we ended up talking about LOVE OR LOYALTY, with me asking him which is better. I said I prefer loyalty because someone may love you but starve you in the back. Give me loyalty!
A few hours later, I went on my run and, thinking about the whole conversation, I felt it was something that was orchestrated by God. Like He woke me up, handed me my phone, and said, ‘Nik, here, call your husband.’ I then called my husband back and told him my feelings about the strange call, and that he should pray seriously about what we discussed. I’m even trying to get him to start fasting with me! I ended the conversation saying, ‘This wife LOVES AND IS LOYAL TO YOU. Ride or die chick forever!’
Five minutes later, I rushed up to get dressed for work and wanted to play some music from my speaker in my bathroom, and the very song that was playing on the radio was the song, My Hitta, and it unbelievably said, “I have two words for you: LOVE AND LOYALTY (Wink! Wink!).”
See what I mean about everything lining up too perfectly! For THAT song with THOSE lyrics to just happen to be playing on THAT radio station just minutes after THAT conversation with my husband and our earlier discussion, was no coincident. It was God revealing His invisible Presence and adding His say on the dialogue between hubs and me: ‘I have two words for you: LOVE AND LOYALTY.’ (SMILE)
See the sweetness of God? Who are we that He is so intimately connected with us? And these are the two big lessons He is teaching me during this fasting period. These verses showed up in an appointment with Him yesterday after I felt I was a little bit rude talking to hubby:
“Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. IT IS NOT RUDE; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening]. Love never fails [it never fades nor ends].” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
I felt lovingly corrected by God, again reminded that I’m going to strive to live my entire life pleasing to Him no matter what anyone else is doing or not doing. LOVING AND LOYAL TO THE END, so help
me God. Amen.
