A Love Poem


You are my blessing
You will ever remain the reason
For my every season
I pray to always be pleasing
And never abusing
to you my blessing

You are my treasure
To my life you've brought pleasure
And taken away every pressure
Now life has become a leisure
So much that I can't measure
your worth oh my treasure!

You are my love song
One I'll always have on my tongue
Now and all life long
For times when I'm strong
And times when I'm wrong
cos it's you I belong

Love Can Be Hard

Love Can Be Hard

I remember I was hurt by someone dear to me, the person hurt me so much that I was living but frustrated.I built a defence wall around me that no one could penetrate.It just made me cranky,proud and obnoxious.I had to learn how to forgive,but this happened when I became born-again, but to forget was a no go area for me.I would try to forget and I would remember all the evil acts the person had committed.I had to really ask myself if I had forgiven and forgotten.

Truthfully, I have forgiven, but I have not fogotten fully.I am sincerely asking God to help me.

Points:

1) I was hurt by someone dear to me

2) I was Living but frustrated

3) I built a defence wall around me

4) I learnt how to forgive, but was still hard to forget

5) I am working hard on forgetting the hurt, by God's grace

Questions To Ask Yourself:

Do you forgive people?

Do you forget the wrong doings of others?

Are you working to get better?

Lessons: Love does not keep records of wrong.Yes, it can be very hard, but this can limit our performance, because we might form a defence mechanism.

We need to know that God has forgiven and forgotten our evil acts, and we also are not perfect beings.

Yes You Can:

Forgive

Forget

Love

Love And Injustice

This happened some weeks ago, when a young female student was gang raped and injured severly in her country.She tried to resist them, but they overpowered her. She also inflicted some injuries on them.She was thrown out of the vehicle in a terrible state and was rushed to the hospital where she died after a few days, due to severe injuries.

This incident caused an uproar in the country especially by students.They wanted justice to the men that committed the heinous act.They wanted more severe laws protecting their women against abuse and rape.This caught the attention of the whole world.The suspects were arrested and their trial in court began.

Points:
1) A young female student was gang raped.

2) She was injured severly

3) She later died

4) This caused an uproar in the country

5) This caught the attention of the whole world

6) The suspects were brought into custody and they were tried

Questions To Ask Yourself:

Are you unjust?

Do you indulge in evil practices?

Do you cover up evil?

Have you ever raped anyone?

Lessons: Love is beautiful.It does not rejoice about injustice, but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.

Rape is a very terrible act.It affects and may destroy the life of the victim.This applies to other cases of evil acts.The truth should be said always and those found guilty of their crimes should be allowed to go through trial and be punished as required by the law.

Love is about saying the truth at all times, caring for others and being responsible for your actions.Never cover up any evil and do not carry out any evil act.

Yes You Can:

Love

Be Loved

Be Just

Super Eagles Love Story

This is a love story of a football team, whom against all odds proved that Love still exists.In the beginning, they were criticized and mocked, but they had one Vision, to bring back the trophy to their beloved country, Nigeria.It was difficult for them to believe in this Vision, because there was no external motivation, but they continued to practice. They believed in themselves and they worked hard, day and night.

The first hurdle was the qualifiers match of the African Cup Of Nations, and they actually qualified.People were a little bit suprised, but still did not expect much from them.

The African Cup Of Nations Started and they did averagely well at the beginning, but there was still no encouragement and support from their people.They moved to the quarter finals, where they met a team with top football players in the world.The world thought that this was the end for the super eagles, but they proved us wrong again, they scored two goals. The story changed from this point.

People started supporting the team, blood was now supposed to be green as a sign of Loyalty to the team.They did extremely well at the semi-finals, they scored four goals.At the finals, people expressed their love in diverse ways, prayers, delegates and messages were sent to them.

Finally, on the tenth of February 2013, they showed the whole world their Love towards Nigeria by winning the trophy, despite the trials and criticisms.Nigerians were proud to be raise the trophy after nineteen years.The Super Eagles did not give up on Nigeria even when we gave up on them.Two of our team members won awards such as "The Most Valuable Player" and "The Highest Goal Scorer".The beautiful thing is that, they worked hard as a team and they were thankful to God.This is true Love.

Points:

1) They love Nigeria

2) They did not give up on Nigeria

3) They believed in themselves

4) They worked hard and they brought back the trophy

Questions To Ask Yourself:

Do you Love people?

Do you Love your country?

This is the story of a Nigerian guy who lived in London with his wife and children. He had problems with immigration, so he came back to Nigeria. He then met a lady whom he liked and they became close. He started taking her out and showering her with expensive gifts and he introduced her to his family.

He wanted more intimacy and he was not getting it. He complained that she was not having sex with him and he had invested in their relationship. She told him to be patient until they got married and he said that it was not possible. She later found out that he had a family in london.

Points:
