TRUST

My people!
I've got lots of gists (stories) to tell you but the thing be say I don dey feel lazy anyhow to the point of not doing anything sef. So I beg, make una de remember me for una prayers, you hear?lol... This my pidgin English get as e be sha, but make una take me as una see me... Just like that.
I stumbled upon this story and just like I always do, I am bringing it on here, to lift up someone's spirit and bring hope to us all.
One day, a little girl and her father were crossing a foot-bridge. The father who was petrified about falling into the bridge because of the phobia he has for heights said to his little daughter, 'Sweetheart, go ahead... Hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.' The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.'  'What's the difference?' asked the puzzled father. 'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl.

'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.'

Moral of the story: In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours... Songs of Solomon 8:6 says that
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Imagine the kind and power of the trust that proceeds out of love.
And if we allow God to hold our hands, no matter what happens in life, we know that He will never let us go. Thank you all for the comments on my last post, I also appreciate my new followers *extends hands for a long lasting friendship* please stick and stay with me.
I thank God the strike in Naija is over, and I hope all my friends over there are doing fine. 
Finally, I'd like to ask (thinking of the relationship between the girl and her father), should we be afraid to love when love is pure? And should we be afraid of trusting when love has proven itself? Should we run away from love when it finds us? And who can share tips on staying in love without loosing your mind or being distracted?lol (don't mind me... Seriously). Bring it on!!!
Peace... I'm out

  2. Hmmmm. Priscy's Jamb question.

    All I know is that love is beautiful when its pure and sacred between 2 people.
    The best thing that can happen in this world is loving and being loved in return. Nothing beats that

  3. I am actually just realizing the fact that there's a difference between 'holding someone's hand' and 'someone holding your hand'. God is really the only one whose assurance we have that if we hold His hand,He'll never ever let go.The story is a very deep one.

  4. Love the story, reminds me of the line in Casting Crowns' East to West where the guy said "I'm not holding on to You but You're holding on to Me". It makes a big difference and if not for God who has never let go of us, we'ld all be lost.

    Love is amazing but who can find 'pure' love these days? If you've found it, jack it by the throat and never let it go. Bless your heart
