Friendship & Loneliness
From An Honest Heart

I feel, I think and I pray like this to my father God: you are my everything Oh I mean it, I owe my life to you, nothing I can do for or by myself, my life depends on you, I can’t think without you, I can’t even move to do a thing without your knowledge.

Though, I was wandering around like a lost sheep, all this you know about, you know my frame and my thought, you did not want to force me out of my own will, you allowed me to satisfy my own thirst.

I hear so many voices calling me to do this or do that, I was confused out of these many strange voices; I don’t know which one to follow.

But a day came, I start to use my head, I think to myself! “What is good is good and what is bad is bad!” now I need to change my path, so which way to go now? I borrowed the map from others, it didn’t work for me, I borrowed their wisdom, and theirs is full of law and self righteousness.

I ran up and down in search of what can give peace and what is best. But I found no one suit me the best. I was giving word like, just think positive! But it still don’t help, some says they know what I need, “go to those, that know how to defend and war for the saint, they will use His word and deliver you from sadness, I tried that, it work for some time but the sadness came back for it never leave me but was only suppressed.

At the point of desperation, I cried to heaven and heaven heard me!

To my amazement, God had been waiting for me, He said, “I saw all your desperation, I saw all your confusions, I saw all your pain, this are all part of your journey, to testify to the world about my goodness that every one needs me, they need to know me for them self!

This really blew my mind! And it opened my eyes to relate wisely in any given situation, when you see people wandering! Take them to God not to yourself; teach them how to find Him, not how to be you.

I learn this wisdom, God deal with men differently! The plan He had for one is different from the One He had for another.

My experience of hardship might be same as yours, but the plan to come out of it in a different way, is only known by Him.

I learn this wisdom, not to force people out of fire, but encourage them to listen to God in the mist of it.

I also learn this wisdom, not to raise what God is killing, most time we feel sorry for people and we run to help them, whereas, It is God that is dealing with them in the situation and we are holding His hand back, (Heb12:7).

I also learn to hold my brother and sister up in prayer and to never leave them alone in that situation.

Heavenly father I pray for those that are reading this, everyone have one thing or the other they believe in you for.

Lord, draw them closely to you and let your joy continue to be their strength, guides them through your way and instructs them on what they should do. Amen





God is love and God is good, I am not ashamed to admit that.
