Trusting God enough to forgive People-1

Dear Single Mum, Sometimes our inability to forgive any one ,can sometimes be traced to our knowledge/understanding regarding God's willingness to accomplish justice on our behalf . When we have been unjustly wronged/ harmed , it is normal to want to seek some sort of vindication most especially when the offender feels no remorse. However we are required as Christians to forgive. Yet the one we should forgive is utterly insensitive, not remorseful at all and take sheer delight in making others uncomfortable. Surely , It is a lot easier to ignore all legitimate & Spiritual justice promises and take matters into our own hands especially as the thoughts of our offender getting away with the matter causes us a major emotional disequilibrium yet we are required as Christians to forgive. How do we trust that God will get justice for us? Should we even be asking for justice? How should we forgive? Where do we start from ?

Wanted by all, including your self yet limited to 24 hours in a day just like all. How you carefully manage your Time will be your ticket to managing several resources that comes your way. Every one ,every where is constantly seeking your attention by providing information that you will need to filter quickly through 3 lenses. 1.How can I use this new information? Note that If it is an old information, why do you need to sit many hours through it when you can be learning something new elsewhere. 2.Why must I use this new information?

Getting Down with 2022-Praying for Discernment

 Dear Single Mum Where do you start praying? This is usually a tricky bit as starting off on any foot within the Christian theology & principle can be daunting. I usually advise ,start anywhere. God is such a merciful God that as soon as you start to engage in actively praying, you will find navigation very soon. He is eager to meet with you as well. Why? the entire human race is a battle between sides. The lord side and the side of the enemy. Why will God make your association with him any more difficult that it should necessarily be ? Let us start with Discernment Discernement  May God provide you with Discernment in 2022 to discern between good and bad, between clean and unclean, between right and wrong, between righteous and wicked, between good and evil. You get the drift. There are some things that are not just within your plain sight and will require in-depth discernment to understand. As women we are blessed with natural antenna that picks up vital signals very qui...
