*It’s okay to put it out there* Dear Journal, I always like reiterating how publishing these pieces of write-ups is not my forte. I am very private and would rather hold memories and experiences that are dear to me as close to my heart as possible. However, God has other plans hence this piece. I remember going to the Open Heavens International Centre and seeing a series of events of the journey of a man who dared to hold onto God amidst the odds and how blessed I was by the documented journey with dates and all. I also remember reading about the journey of the Israelites, David, Abraham and even Jesus and observed how all events were written in detail. These incidents gave me a mindset shift. Had all the mentioned bible characters kept all these experiences to themselves all in the name of privacy, how would we have known that God could cause the barren to become fruitful, as He did for Sarah? How would we have known that God could deliver, as He did for the Israelites; how would we have known that God could raise from the lowest and make to be seated with royals and nobles as He did for David? It’s okay to share, you’d never know whose spirit you would be strengthening. So, go ahead and start documenting your journey in preparation for the time when it would be needed. The sole aim should be to help, inspire, encourage and ultimately draw attention to Jesus. I hope our hearts are flooded with light and compassion so when we speak, it’s from a place of humility and gratitude rather than ignorance or pride. Here’s wishing everyone the best on their journey. As always, sending warm hugs to brighten your day. Love, Aby 💕
