Part 2 Hello! Check out the previous part here   if you haven't 😉   wait, did I just read that well? You encouraged her, telling her,  “…Has Amnon your brother been with you? Now, HOLD YOUR PEACE my sister; he is your brother; DO NOT TAKE THIS TO HEART” (2 Sam 13: 20)  That was a wonderful advice, especially coming from someone in the Old testament where you’d hear of characters who would call down fire on their enemies or destroy a whole city. I would have commended your reaction; it would have a been a massive example of how we should learn to forgive people no matter how high the wrong may have been. Isn’t that how God loved us and forgave us in advance, even while we were still sinners?  “ For when we were without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a good man, some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Rom 5:6-8) But no, ...

If only you’d calmed down. If only you’d not given in to that beast. If only you’d spoken out your hurt and not hid it in. Why did you decide to stay mute but continue in internal ramblings and grumblings? So much that the sore festered and grew and starting having bold effects all around.  The nation of Israel would never forget in a lifetime the ruckus you caused in their history. Neither would Spiritual Israel fail to take lessons from your story either. Yes, I understand that you were wronged. I feel your pain. You were third in line to the throne and was living the life of royalty. Your princess mother married a powerful shepherd boy turned king, the mighty giant slayer King David. Life was perfect and all was going smooth with your two older brothers ahead of you and five more after you. (2 Samuel 3:2-5) “ …; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;” 2 Sam 3:3b I’m guessing royal picnics and family vacations to the relaxing pools...

Hello darling, how are you doing? My name is Feranmi and I am here today To make you smile, or maybe cry To make sure that in the end, none of these two leave you sad I do not know what definition it is you have in mind of love Love is beautiful, love is colourful, love is wonderful, love is sweet Love is patient, love is caring, love is enduring Love is everything And I am not here to tell you  That love is not all these things I want to rather make you know that  Love is and can be more than all these things I want to tell you about a kind of love Whose quality the world cannot exhaust I want to tell you about a kind of love That stays when even your shadow leaves in the dark I want to tell you about a kind of love That differs from all the meanings you have of this word A kind of love that sticks with you not because of the things you have But rather the things you lack I want to tell you about a kind of love that is more Than just a concept; for love is more than a concept...

Dear Distinguished,    For the past few weeks, I have been to you consistently and you've never thought of visiting me. Is that good enough? Is it? Don't even give me that I've been busy line or I'll put you in my visiting plan for next month. What stops you from visiting right away? Not as if I don't do same for you. This one does not even know the privilege of...  Oh please ignore that . I was cruising as usual. Talking about plans, how far vision2021? Sorry, I meant 2021 resolutions? You've not written it down? You don't like stress yeah? Or you're scared of not meeting up like last year? You think it's better not to make plans and fall by the way side? You're plain scared of failure? You believe dreaming big will only get your hopes high and then leave you dry? Or no matter how much you try, you may not meet up with the bar you set? Why can I relate so much?  Since we're in the same boat let's row together na. Abi? Let...
