The Freedom of Openness

It's the eight month of the year already, how time flies so fast. Welcome to August

Sometime ago, I had a conversation with a friend and it was about how he doesn't intend to hide anything from his wife, he said even before marriage, he will deliberately keep her informed about his dealings.

Before now I knew the importance of openness but I understood it better after watching a movie where secrecy ruined a beautiful relationship. The truth makes free, not just the truth of God's word but telling the truth in to our families, friends and in our various relationships. 

I once heard someone say "if I cheat, I won't tell my spouse ohh, it will be better no one knows and everyone is happy".

In as much as I understand that cheating should not even be on our minds, it is important to tell any truth you feel your family, friends and partner should know. No one is saying it is easy to share certain details about your life that you aren't proud of, but it is important in other to experience freedom and peace.

There is a freedom you experience even with the consequence of telling the truth. Your peace of mind is more important than any reaction you may get.

Secrecy especially between spouses or people in a relationship, doesn't make anything better. It's only gives room for suspicions and disloyalty. 

Remember, it might not be easy but it is important for your peace of mind.

IT'S THE FOUNDATION

Hello guys, I feel really excited writing to you once more, it's indeed my pleasure. Stay tuned for more beautiful and inspiring write-ups by me. Enjoy With the recent happenings like the murder of George Flord, the rape and murder of Uwa and the murder of Tina, I have come to realize that the society is in a state of decay, low moral values, hate and many other evil vices. I decided to give all these a thought and I realized that something must have gone wrong in the foundation. According to the Holy Bible ' if the foundation is destroyed what can the righteous do'. I realized that the whole protest, riot, # tags and more won't really change the root cause of the situation, it might help get justice for the recently murdered people but will it prevent the murder of other people in the nearest future. Recently I watched a video of a little boy and few young ladies dancing, the ladies came so close to the little boy to the extent that there was a very close body contact ...

Unforgiveness!

Happy Thursday Guys 😀 I hope you are seeing how fast January is? for all those giving January 77 days 😂😂. Anyway I feel days are moving fast because of the multiplication of evil, may God help us in Jesus name 🙌. I really don't like movies with sad endings, I always wish I can rewrite the story to end well. Sad movies trouble my mind as funny as that may sound, you may think 🤔 "but it's just a movie". In reality not everyone has a happy ending and I appreciate writers who makes us understand this. Movies like Acrimony and many others including real life experiences has proven that unforgiveness is an attribute that can ruin a person's life. No matter how hurt you are because of the the way you were treated or spoken to, refusing to forgive only makes you more hurt, it doesn't make the situation any better. King Saul was upset and angry with David, he was bitter against David. The amazing thing was it didn't make anything better, the more b...
