Friendships are gifts




 Have you ever looked at a friend or even a family member of yours and be like, "thank God you are in my life" and the person feels the same way too. 

There is a way God brings people into our lives. 

Not all relationships happen by accident, some were arranged by God for specific purposes. He looked at us, he assessed our needs and then he placed people around us that would meet those specific needs. Appreciate someone you know is a blessing from God today.


You didn't meet the people in your life by mistake and the people you would be meeting in the future  would not be by mistake. 
Do not be quick to push people away because you feel they are not giving you the world definition of value like money, connections, etc. While all of those things are good and God also provides people in our life that can give them to us, your friends might be giving you peace, making you smile and laugh when you are sad, hearing you talk about stuff that makes you happy, supporting your little dream that you are just starting out, seeing you in your down times when no one else notices, believing in you and reminding you not to give up on yourself and your dreams, encouraging you basically, giving you great advice, tolerating that side of you that you know no ordinary person would and loving you regardless etc.
 All these things are also very valuable. There is no friend that can love you as much as God does but God knows that we would also need people who can  provide some certain things for us that is why specific people are in our lives today, VALUE THEM!!!, don't wait until they are no longer there.


"And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
           Proverbs 18:24

DO NOT HOLD BACK

  In as much as I believe God places people in our lives by himself, I also believe there is a place of intentionality and effort when it comes to making friends and sustaining friendships and any other type of relationship (even the one we have with our parents) How many friends would you still have if you did not stop communicating? How many relationships have you lost today because you both decided to wake up one morning and act as if no one existed. How many friendships have been lost because of the refusal to say “hi”, “How are you doing” “longtime” “Congratulations” etc. How many destiny relationships would we have had if we communicated how much we admired a person or a person's gift rather than been a silent fan? How many sisters would we have if we took out a few minutes from our day to know why a person looked unhappy or why they were crying and then encourage them? How many more acquaintances would we have if we did not stop saying hi or good morning because we felt

REJECTION

Rejection is real, it is a deep thing that has eaten into the self esteem of a lot of folks. Although we have different personality types and I have to admit that some people are not moved by Rejection at all but they are some other people who little show of Rejection remains in them and builds up into something that can only be healed by serious therapy sessions of which unfortunately not everyone can afford. Rejection can show up when we get turned down buy our crush after we finally find the courage to ask them out. Fo r the ladies, it might come subtly when the guy you like overlooks you but you see him showing interest to someone else. Rejection can come when you have done every thing possible to fit in with someone/ a group but never felt like you belonged among them. It can come when you think you have finally found a friend that suddenly stops associating with you or a romantic partner who was no longer interested in a relationship with you. Rejection can come when you beli

GOSSIP AND THE CHURCH

Gossiping is not unusual in communities like the market, classroom, salon etc, simply because human beings are the unit of this communities. Something unfortunate happens to a person today and before you know it the whole community is talking about it up to the extent that the person with issue senses that "his or her matter don cast". But can we avoid gossiping in the church as much as possible. The church is supposed to be a safe place where people come to find spiritual healing. It is unfair that some people would cone with  one challenge or the other and the same community of believers that are supposed to help them out would be the same one talking ill about them and destroying their reputation. If your motive is not to help or find solution then there is probably no need for you to share another person's buisness. Y ou might intentionally or unintentionally hear someone issue in your church, whatever the case is, try to keep it to yourself. If you cannot help them
