Your Joy Will Come

 Dear Beloved,

Wipe your tears. God has not left you. Neither has He forgotten you. He loves you so, so, so much!

Your present situation might make you feel as if God has turned His back on you, but He hasn't. He loves you!

What you are going through right now might seem as if the suffering will never end. You have asked yourself multiple times, "Will this pain ever stop?" "When will God answer me?" "Should I seek solution elsewhere?"

Beloved, the pain will stop. The suffering will end. The solutions will manifest. Your prayers has already been answered. Surely, you will sing and dance again in celebration.

Be at peace, your expectations will come faster than you anticipated! I rejoice with you 💃
Psalm 30:5. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Waiting

 It's June... It's the 6th month of the year. 2025 seems to be gliding through time like a speeding train. Soon, we will surely find ourselves at the end of the year!

Did your heart miss a beat? Do you feel panicky? Are you asking yourself, "What have I achieved this year?" What are those things you're believing God for, since January, February, March... and now, it's June? What are you waiting on God for? Do not be dismayed. Do not fret. Do not be discouraged.

Our God is not a liar! Everything He says He will do, He will do! I want you to place your hand on your chest and make a decision right now. Say to yourself, "I will wait until my change comes!" Even if it doesn't manifest this month, we still have six more months to go. God will surely come through for you in His time. He is never late. Every time the fear, doubt and panic comes, say to yourself, "God's got my back! I will wait till my change comes!" Job. 14:14.

Do Not Fret!

I went out to get somethings at a local shop and while greeting the neighbours (near and far) that I met along the way, my gaze locks with someone's eager stare. She was a mother of two, living with her husband, in a makeshift home (shop turned into an apartment). She waved at me. And I waved back at her.

"Anything for the girls?"

I started to laugh.

She walked up to me in her usual jovial manner. "How far with these people? We are tired of waiting?"

She was referring to one of the remote software testing gig I was running. "Don't worry, I will let you know once they select you as a participant."

The young woman sighed. Her countenance changed. Worry, mixed with sadness engulfed her face. "The way I need money now ehn... Imagine someone came to scam me this hot afternoon."

I became alarmed. Getting scammed in this season that we are in hits harder and the pain is much worse. "What happened?"

She narrated how someone came to her POS kiosk to withdraw some funds, but he sent her a fake alert and left with some cash. By the time she discovered the fraud, the young man was gone! I consoled her in the best way I could and encouraged her with a token. It was a tenth of what she had lost, but, it would bring some form of comfort.

Presently, the situation around many of us cannot be expressed in words... Have you also been scammed like that lady, by strangers or known persons? Do you have needs, wants and desires and it feels like you are in a sinking ship? No way forward? Are you afraid of tomorrow? Unsure whether you should go left or right?

Do not fret! Do not be troubled! Jesus sees you, He hears you and He can feel every ache, pain and despair in your heart. He will surely come through for you. Be at peace Beloved of the Lord ❤️

"It is the Lord Who goes before you; He will [march] with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; [let there be no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not, neither become broken [in spirit–depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm]." AMP. Deutronomy 31:8
