How to Love People

-

Happy new month friends. It’s August already. Thank God for life and good health. And trust your week was great. 

Today I want to share something on how to love people.

I know the subject of love is a popular one. Everyone of us talks about it. And come to think of it, it’s because of how important love is. 

Love is important in our family, in our relationships, in our place of work…everywhere! 

When we love people, people are attracted to us. They want to be nice to us and be our friends.

In my experience, I see people appreciate it when they feel loved. They want to open up and share their moments with you. 

And, that for me is a good sign that people are willing to receive and appreciate love from whoever is giving it to them.

When we love people, we also forgive. We overlook their shortcomings and weaknesses, while we focus on their strength and good side. This is not in a way to condone what is not good, but in a way to allow them to grow and do better.

Quite importantly, everyone of us wants to feel loved and desired. We don’t want to be around people who don’t love us or appreciate us. So, love is so needed in our world, and it’s important we share it.

But how do we love people?  

Loving people starts from our heart, and it manifests in our acts.

When we see people good, we appreciate them and value them. We can’t love people who we don’t appreciate or value. Love is a seed that grows gradually in our heart. 

So, loving people is a process. It takes time!

If you want to grow in love, keep focusing on what you can do at the moment. Love is expressed by giving. 

So, if it is your time you can give, give. If it is your resources you can give, give. If it is your smile you can give, give. 

All that will go a long way and really express who you are.

So, I encourage you dear friends, to start with something, and let people around you feel the love and kindness in your heart. God bless you.

Turning 60 – How It Feels Like!

Welcome back friends. Thanks for stopping by. I’m so excited to share this moment with you as I celebrate my 60th birthday. I’m so grateful to God for making me see 60 good years on the land of the living. This is a lot and it’s a big deal for me. I have seen the Lord’s goodness, His mercy and compassion. I have seen the hand of the Lord in every area of my life. When things were difficult; when life was turbulent, the Lord rose for me, He stood by me and made Himself a shield for me. I can’t start counting all the goodness of the Lord. They are so innumerable and unquantifiable.   I thank God for my dear husband (of blessed memory) who served the Lord all through his life and left a great legacy behind. I thank God for my children (both biological and adopted), my siblings, my extended families, my friends, my colleagues and everyone who has been of great blessing in my life.  I can’t count all the people I’ve met in my life – all the people who have been so great and loving, kind and

Embracing A Journey of Resilience And Gratitude

Glad to come your way again, friends! Trust you and your family have been doing great and having a great week. Today marks the 7th year anniversary of passing to glory of my dear husband. It was just like yesterday when the whole incident happened. I thank the Lord who has kept me and my children, and has led us, and continue to lead us in the way of life and fulfillment. I met my husband at my workplace in the year 1990, and ever since then, it has been a journey of love and fulfillment. I knew my husband (Joshua Adeyemi Olojo) as an honest, meticulous, diligent, caring, loving, and God-fearing man. He was someone who loved the Lord wholeheartedly and loved people also. He instilled the habit of serving the Lord in his children, and made it a family tradition for us to always have daily devotion and go to church. On September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was attacked by the Islamic terrorists, my husband was caught in the building, and he nearly died in the incident. Thank

Welcome to 2024, Friends!

With so much gladness in my heart, I welcome you, dear friends, to the New Year 2024. This is a year that we've all been expecting, and thank God, we've entered it. Thank God for His goodness and faithfulness. Where shall we start? Is it to recount how the year 2023 was spent or to plan for the year ahead? I know that at the beginning of the new year like this, many things go through our minds. Questions like – How will the year look? What will happen? Won’t what happened last year occur again this year? And so on. But God is faithful. He will grant us wisdom and understanding to navigate this year. We will receive direction and clarity. We will not be confused or frustrated this year. For we know that all things work together for good for those who love God and work according to His purpose. For this year, we know it’s our blessed year. It’s our prosperous and glorious year. We will not lack any good thing this year. And the Lord will be our sufficiency and provider this year.
