Firstly, what is love? If I say love is that feeling you you have for someone "special". That word SPECIAL , you might think it's meant for only your family members but , the question is who's special to you?
To me everyone is special but the whole thing is depending on how we understand each other.
Apart from the kind of love between husband and wife, there's this other love for kids and that for friends now that's the kind of love am talking about.
They're some time you might come across someone you don't even know, who's in need of help, how would you react? Firstly, you'll think like oh it's none of my business, after all you're not my relative, but then, weather relative or not he or she needs your help. Will you be a good Samaritan?
On several occasions people had accident before me, and I will always run to help not minding if am touching the persons blood or not, one day it happened and I rush to victim and started cleaning the blood with both my hancky and my hands. All I want is for the bleeding to stop. A man came called me and said, be careful how you touch peoples blood, it's not good.
But I didn't know when am doing all those things.
In my area one day, I was like oh God when will my destiny helper locate me, my spirit answered me saying, "you are a destiny helper to somebody and you're here looking for a destiny helper ". Each time my neighbors children gets ill they'll always run to my house. They call it their clinic . My neighbors daughter once said to me, mummy igwe ( that's what's my neighbors call me). Did you know that God brought you here because of us. I freezed and remembered what my spirit told me.
One thing is that the husband of this my neighbors is OK, I mean the man is financially balanced, but the family is not seeing it, they hear testimonies outside of how their father is helping people but his families are like his enemies including the wife. That word Charity begins at home is not for me o. This man will buy fish or meat and give it to the wife to cook and fry that's after counting it. And him Alone will finish the whole thing in their presence.
Outsiders talk good of him but his goodness never reached his home. He's not even showing his wife the love, I don't want to go on and on talking about this man but I don't think that man is worth emulating from.
But the question is, what should we call the kind of love of a man that can't buy his wife drugs left alone taking her to the hospital when she's ill, but he'll pay hospital bill for outsiders. Give me your answer in the comments section below.
Let us try and show love not only to our family members but to outsiders too or not only to outsiders but let our families enjoy our love too. Charity begins at home, let us try and balance it.
Always put yourself in the condition of that person and try to helping out, put on the shoe that person is wearing so you'll understand where it is paining him or her.
A wise prophet once said LET LOVE LEAD, the triple "L", always remember that. Let us not be self-centered like one man I know, he's married, all the time he want his wife to be calling his people on phone to check on them especially his mother but he never dialed his in-laws number by mistake not to talk of sending something to them. He loves his own but hate others, it's very bad. You must not have something going on between you and someone before you show them love.
I hope this little write up will help us know that God is love, if you love God then show love to people. It's because of God's love for you that you're still alive today, God loves us despite all our short comings.
Hope you enjoyed reading this.
THANKS.
