Many issues in the world today are as a result of a fatherless generation. The pattern seems to be repeating itself where many people settle for poor-quality relationships. Surely, with the dysfunction that we see in our world we must come to a point where we stop the cycle. We are given an illusion of love in the media, but many neglect the fact that without the foundation of Christ, real love cannot be sustained. In this book, Rosemary sheds light on healthy relationships and love, using Jesus’ beautiful forms of outreach, whilst going against culture, traditions and laws to express real love. His character will never change and we can learn so much from Him. She also discusses the early signs of abusive relationships using personal examples, how to leave a relationship and more. The myth that a single mother is damaged goods is challenged and our guest author Doreen Homawoo shares how she navigates relationships as a mother. The theme Lord, is this relationship for me is tackled as we get to the bottom of this very important topic.
Psalm 118:22-23 (NKJV)
The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
23 This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvellous in our eyes.
This is to encourage you that no one is beyond salvation, restoration, forgiveness and new beginnings. The Lord is doing a new thing and it is beautiful. Are you ready to embrace it?
Do you trust that the Lord always embraces you when others reject you? You may not fit into their standards but who's report will you believe?
James 1:17 (NKJV)
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
When people gossip, mock and put you down, hold your head high knowing that Jesus is Lord. He has a good plan for your life and thinks good thoughts towards you. When Jesus was being crucified He had to go through that sacrifice for the Father's glory. He took on the sins of the world and became sin for us. So He has already forgiven you. Receive it, embrace it and understand that you are free.
Salvation is yours. Will you receive it?
Romans 10:9 (NKJV)
...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
