What does love really mean?

tell me now 👀

Hey Friend,

I remember in my final year at school when my Head of Department sent for me. He asked if I knew he would have no hand in my final exams which I would not be writing if I did not clear my school debt. It was a fatherly reminder of sorts. A warning.

I don't know how I walked out of that office. But, as I walked home with tears on my face I knew one thing. I would not be graduating. Not with my dad so sick and my mum in debt and worried. I was not going to add to her worry so, I let it out on that road. It was not busy that day thank God.

Then, I heard a song from my inside. An old hymn 'It is well, it is well with my soul' I was mad, I shouted cos I knew God was trying to use music to calm me down. 'Go away and stay gone!'

But he didn't leave. I went home, had a good cry and mistakenly opened my Bible to search for a card I had stuck in there.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

(Romans 8:38-39)

I closed it fast and yelled 'i don't want your love, it has never done anything for me really.'

Some how, the exam was shifted to the next month. Yes, he loves me.

If you have ever felt alone and unloved, you are not alone but I want you to know one thing: YOU ARE LOVED.

Update

In case you did not catch the big news floating around, a new book is coming!!

The book features food so I played with a photo prompt 🙈

It is a political satire/allegory, filled with drama, and features a little bit (okay, a lot) of fantasy and . . . food.

Do reply with your own story of love or if mine encourages you. I want to hear from you.

Love, A
