Eunice dragged her skirt over her hip several times but it refused to budge past it. She smiled consciously because her plans seems to be working out well. She has been overfeeding recently, taking vitamins, eating alot of proteinous food and she loves the way her curves came out defined. “Wa gba Pastor T, I will soon be Pastor Mrs Eunice Temiloluwa”,Eunice spoke to no one but herself making gestures to show her worth. Many sisters in the church likes Pastor T because he is the outright definition of TDH(TALL,DARK AND HAMDSOME) and a million yards husband material. He has a rich tenor voice and could design anything out of this world. He prays as though he came out directly from Elijah’s loins, he preaches the word as though he was amongst the disciples of Christ while he was on Earth. What more would a lady want from a man.
The very day,the young and vibrant Pastor Temiloluwa announced the type of woman he wants to get married to unconsciously at the altar. Everyone echoed and screamed for joy as they heard him state this. The young spinsters in the church who have always had an eye for the youth pastor knew they needed to buckle up and meet up to his standards. Little did he know it would cause a rancor in the church.
Eunice knew many sisters in the church would be chasing after Pastor T since they all knew his specs now. She made a mental note to get a lightening body cream to lighten her skin a little, so that her skin can come out caramel like Pastor T wants it. She would also begin to read Joyce Meyers and Myles Munroe’s books since they’re his best authors. She would brush up her English so that she can sound and speak the Queen’s English anytime she speaks to his mum who is in the abroad. She would try her best.
Many sisters are trying their best too and same as the brothers for a sister they like. The things we look for or hope to find just because of a superficial part of a person we’ve experienced or observed from afar might just not worth it at the end. Have you ever thought about the future,will all these things last?
I had a chat with some sisters, I wish I could upload their voice notes in reference to the last blog post. They concluded that everyone desires or seek one value or the other from their relationships. We were created for companionship so we need someone who would complement us. What you hate or dislike in someone is what the other person really love. Which boils down to a proverb that says one man’s meat is another man’s poison.
Like the Eunice and Pastor Temi’s story above,we should not just desire superficial things. You already know someone likes a value, you try to conform to it just because you want the person to love you more. I wouldn’t want to marry an unintelligent woman because I don’t want to birth unintelligent children, neither do I want to start looking out for any guy who has a rich tenor to marry because I want him to sing to me every now and then. Those are superficial things in my opinion, I’ve you ever thought an environment contributes to a child’s intelligence and why not get the soundtrack of an artiste with rich tenor voice.
Love is giving out all of yourself and resources for someone. God gave his only son to us despite knowing the risk involved. He wasn’t looking for the haves and the haves not. He just needed us to love in return. We are in a woke generation (Gen Z), a generation where they say love isn’t enough. A generation where our selfish interests is what we desire most. But I tell you that Love is and that God is love. The greatest gift you could every give anyone is love.
If whatever we look for in relationships ends or doesn’t seems as it is or is below our expectations would we resort to the next available person who possess these things. Wouldn’t it be as though we are testing waters. As much as we all have the freedom to choose whatever we want, we also should subject ourselves to the HolySpirit.
I hope and pray that on our quest of what we seek. That we’ll find love at it’s peak,we’ll receive, give and express it to the world at its fullest. That we won’t hold back but give it fully.
We need to grow to learn to love regardless of whatever it is… love seamlessly, love entirely and love without looking back.
I would love to read your point of view.
I love you all
