My friend always says that when in it comes to love, we have
to unlearn all that we have learnt . So
am going back to the basics: the basic fundamentals of love. Christ’s command
was to love each other…simple, just love. And He showed us the ultimate measure of love
as it is confirmed in the Bible where it says in John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for his friends”. …So everyday I try to
measure up and of late am learning that for me part of that commandment
involves me praying for my loved ones…
Whenever I feel like my life is spiraling out of control, I
find myself praying that no one should go through this. I find myself praying for
the joy, success and happiness of my loved ones…
I pray that this year my best friends wedding will be her
happiest day yet and one that will lead to subsequent days filled with laughter
and joy...
I find myself praying for my pal who’s trying to sort some
things in his life, I may not mention it here, but my dear know that I pray you
figure it out.
I find myself praying for the success of my oldest friend’s
business.
I find myself praying for my lil brother, that as I watch
him grow everyday, that he will turn out to be a young man after God’s own
heart.
I find myself praying for my craziest friend who just like me is
starting out her career path. I pray that all the dreams and ambitions you have
will come to pass.
I pray for my ‘villager’ friend, who God is using him to
inspire many with his positive outlook of life and through his testimony.
I find myself praying for my amazing lil sister that she may
have the best time in campus but more so that she may avoid the mistakes I made
coz God knows, the painful healing process I went through.
I pray that God may sustain my father’s businesses and that
he may never lack just as he ensured we his children never lacked.
I find myself praying for my fellow CBDers that we will make
it through together through this crazy journey of consulting..
I find myself praying that I will one day be the woman my
mum is…her best quality is her prayer life.
I find myself praying for my cousin that she may experience
the amazing love of God before this world swallows her whole.
I find myself praying that even as we goof around more than
do important things in a meeting/rehearsal that our ministry will make a
difference...coz that’s our ultimate prayer as a team.
I know we appreciate our loved ones in very many different
ways. But try this venture too, we try to protect them from any form of harm,
but since we may not always be in a position to do so, the best thing you could
do for them is place them in the hands of the ultimate Protector. The One who
can love them in a way we may never possibly could at least from this side of
heaven….
Love them on your knees…
Love even yourself by praying through life(trust me it’s
easier that way)
Love her by dedicating her to the Lord…by placing her at the
feet of Jesus.
Love him by lifting him to Christ, by placing him at the
open arms of Christ…
Love them by praying them through…
