It Is Time To Return

Valentine’s day has come and gone. Some people are smiling, some others are still wailing. Some people received multiple gifts, while others waited till midnight, yet got no gift.  Now, you know exactly where you stand.

Some people had their innocence taken away, while some gave it out cheaply. Now that the adrenaline rush is over, and you are back to reality, let us talk.

Now is the time to take an inventory of whatever happened to you on Valentine’s Day, and make some decsisions.

If you feel you messed up, don’t stay there. Don’t sit down, sulk, and cry over what has happened.

Hos 6:1 [NIV] Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds.

Rise up from your pain and regret. It is not the end of the world. Mistakes have been made, but they do not define you. What defines you is what you choose to do next. Rather than sit in self-pity, rise, learn, and move forward.

For those who feel used, unappreciated, or broken, take a step back and reflect. What led you to this point? Were you too trusting? Did you ignore the red flags, I am sure they were there. You must answer these questions to prevent a repetition of what just happened.

For those who had a wonderful Valentine’s Day, filled with love, gifts, and attention -be grateful. However, do not let one day of affection blind you to the reality of your relationship. Is your relationship built on a firm foundation? Will the love last beyond the chocolates and roses? Feelings are fickle, they do not last, so ensure your love is rooted in something deeper and more meaningful – in Christ.

No matter what your Valentine’s Day looked like, today is a new day. Pick yourself up. Make wiser choices. Seek healing, and most importantly, like the prodigal son, return to the One who loves you unconditionally. His love is not seasonal, it does not waver, and it will never leave you empty.

Selah!

Your Days of Grieving Are Over

This year is such a strategic and special year! It is a year in which the enemy of your soul will want to fight your joy so much, and yet it is that year in which you must protect your joy so much!

God promises that your days of mourning are over. However, you must now make an effort to comply with that scripture.

Let’s look at the scriptures.

Isa 60:20 (KJV) Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

Your days of mourning are over!

Mourning, as the scripture refers to it, encompasses broken relationships and the accompanying hurt and agony.

Unhappiness in relationships and sadness within a marriage, stemming from incessant quarrels and squabbles, are also part of this process.

Let’s take a look at The Message Translation.

Isa 60:20 (MSG) Your sun will never go down, your moon will never fade. I will be your eternal light. Your days of grieving are over.

I adore that phrase. Your days of mourning are behind you!

On your part, you’re now cooperating with the scripture by refusing depression and despondency in your life with every fiber of your being!

You must consciously cultivate the spirit of joy and prevent anything from trying to steal it from you!

This year is so pivotal that you can’t let anything dampen your joy!

You have a responsibility to safeguard that joy and keep it safe!

Why would you go to such lengths?

It’s your strength!

The joy of the Lord is your strength! Protect your place of strength and ensure its safety. This guarantees constant and unwavering victory in life and all other aspects of your existence!

The days of mourning are over!

If anything is causing grief at this moment, God Himself will intervene in Jesus’ name!

Good morning!
