Love

Nike is a successful banker, she is married to a wonderful man and has 2 kids but Nike is not happy. She’s having marital problems, though her husband loves her so much, she has problems reciprocating this love.


Lets take a look at the source of Nike's problems;
She didn’t meet her father till she was 15yrs old and haven’t spoken to him since then.
She was practically raised by a mother who (out of resentment) made her believe her father was good for nothing.

After years of therapy, her best friend advised her to settle things with her estranged father, she thought about it and decided to do it.
It was a wonderful re-union but unfortunately, the father had developed cancer and had just a few months to live, she was ready pay extra costs just so he could live but it was not to be, the father passed away just a few weeks after his daughter forgave him but what he told her will forever be in her heart “I wish we had all the time in the world”.

Life’s much more fun when you don’t have extra baggage clinging to you(yh,malice is an excess luggage).It could be satisfying to feel you are putting someone in his/her place by keeping your distance and all but the truth is both parties end up losing in the end.
You cant deny the feeling of euphoria you experience when someone apologizes and you actually forgive that person, it’s a wonderful feeling.
Learn to forgive because life’s easier that way, it is not always easy but what’s the alternative? Malice? Believe me, its harder.

Jesus said it all……Matthew 18:15-19

Remember, we don’t have all the time in the world, lets make the best of the little time we all have.
