Humiliation vs Love



I was reading the book of Mathews in the Bible and was on CHAPTER 26, which is titled the "the Plot to kill Jesus", basically the CHAPTER narrates how Jesus was delivered to the authorities for his crucifixion.
It involved betrayal, humiliation, painful and shameful death for Jesus to give his love for us, to save us, to make sure that we still have a chance of direct relationship with God.Meditating about this made me learn that, in our day to day, this is almost the same thing happening in many different ways as follows;
  •  The most painful betrayal a person can get is from the people they love most and sometimes most betrayals come from the closest people to you, that know you well. Now the difference is that Jesus knew who was going to betray him and yet he just sat wit him calmly but the moment we know who will betray us we become so bitter, our love is tested and we sometimes want to cut off the relationship, but then this is what it means to love, sometimes you got bare it, forgive and still love them. when people love you, please be loyal.+-
  • Void promises. The People that you love the most will tend make promises to you and say this and that, some swear,, but most of the times they never come through or stick with us with what they promised, especially when faced with challenges. They will be the first to run away from you, or leave you alone. Look at how Peter said will not denie Jesus, but did it three times. I no longer believe in human promises, and i do not promise to others. 
  • Humiliation comes from people we love the most, the ones we care about the most. Because when you care about others the most, they tend to hurt you the most when they don't care about you, and sometimes they tend to take it for granted and don't see the damage they are doing to you.Mathew 26:67-68(Then they spit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him,saying, "Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?") they mocked him and humiliated him in their best possible way but still his love for them never changed. And so when people show me love am going to give them love and care instead of humiliating them.

NEW YEAR, NEW MIND

Its 2018. Am grateful to God for allowing me and my family, friends to see this year. 2017, was quite a long, challenging year for me, my mind was a battlefield that hosted the many wars that were in me, i felt helpless most of the time and it was as if everything was not working out. But at the end of the year, i was constantly telling myself that i needed to step in 2018 with a changed mind, changed attitude towards everything that has been battling in my mind, changed view of how i see life, changed mind on how i see myself and life generally. I just wanted to take control of my mind, and every situation that i can possibly control and the hardest i leave them to God. Now a new year, does not necessary make everything new, nor does the movement of the clock produce the newness of life , it is the movement in your mind that gives newness to life. Our biggest enemy we have in our lives is 'ourselves', in what we think, in what we have in our minds, and unless we take ...
