Beloved, Welcome.
Thank you for being on this page.
In continuation of the ugly triangle from the last post, ‘Love or Lust’, Juliet gave birth to a baby boy – Daniel.
Her family members and friends were at hand to give her all the necessary support.
Simeon was also there to welcome Daniel.
After a few weeks, the visits from family members and friends dwindled. However, Melody who was in the neighborhood visited her frequently to help with Daniel.
Juliet occasionally had her mood swings. She ruminated over her relationship with Simeon and wondered how she got to this point.
Now that her eyes were ‘opened’, she remembered that the tell-tale signs were there but she kept hoping against hope because she was inwardly anxious to get married.
She was 35 years old and she felt she was getting old and time was running against her and that everyone around her had gotten married or was in a relationship.
So, she ignored the tell-tale signs that clearly indicated that Simeon only lusted after her. She explained them off.
Again, she could not remember that Simeon ever proposed to her.
Whenever she talked about the future, he always brushed it aside or changed the subject of discussion. He completely avoided it but would make a fuss over her and profess to love her. He avoided any form of commitment.
Emotionally, Juliet was drained. She was pained. Who can understand what she was going through, her hurt, her pain, the disappointment she felt in herself for playing along Simeon’s lines. The emotional trauma she was going through was much for her.
She cried and cried her eyes out. Suddenly, the cries of Daniel jolted her back. That was what mattered at this moment. So, she gathered herself together to nurse her baby.
The day went by quickly. The next day while lazing around, her phone rang, and it was Melody. She calls her Auntie Melody.
Melody wanted to let her know she would be visiting later in the day to help with the chores. What a great relief that would be.
Auntie Melody, so sweet of her.
Melody was a Sunday School teacher in her local Church, she was always smiling, funny, and since Daniel came, she had been such a big help.
Thank GOD, she came and helped prepare lunch. They had a great time together and she promised to see her again over the weekend.
On Saturday, Melody was at Juliet’s to help as usual. Daniel soon had a nap. The two women were gisting and laughing. Suddenly, the discussion tilted toward Juliet’s present state. Juliet poured out her heart to Melody of how she felt some few days ago. Melody reprimanded her, warning her to never think of herself as being old and never devalue her self-worth. She reminded Juliet that everyone has a set time; and when the set time comes, no one can stop the move of GOD.
Besides, Juliet’s joy should not be dependent on anyone. She is the one to determine her state of mind irrespective of circumstances surrounding her. Melody assured her based on the promises of GOD that a man that would cherish her, love her unconditionally would surely come her way. Nevertheless, peradventure he does not come soon, that should never be a factor that would affect her demeanor. She assured her that when the man comes, they would enjoy beautiful moments without defiling themselves.
However, first things first. The first thing is to run to the ONE Who is perfect in love and Who is Love Himself, the Owner of Life, Who would heal her, nurture and help her in all ramifications- HIS Name is JESUS.
Melody continued ‘you may think you are knocked out, yes you made a mistake, but your mistake would be your testimony of the Goodness, Mercies and Faithfulness of GOD.
The LORD JESUS Christ would lift you up – HE is the Lifter up of your head and you shall walk tall.’
Melody continued. She said, ‘some run away from GOD saying, “why me” instead of running to HIM to restore and transform them’.
Juliet listened with rapt attention. What Melody was saying made so much sense, though she could not figure it out.
Melody was not done yet. She said to Juliet as a matter of fact ‘you have to give your life to JESUS and totally surrender to HIM. Just trust HIM. You will find rest in HIM, your life would no longer be ruled by circumstances.’
She continued, ‘Juliet you are a dignified, beautiful young woman, don’t ever look down on yourself. You are about to enter your glorious destiny. I sincerely pray you give your life to JESUS to have this life-changing experience. HE is available 24/7.’
She recounted her own experiences before she met JESUS. She summed it up by saying, ‘it was like groping in the dark and suddenly you find light and no more stumbling.’
Melody was not giving up on Juliet so soon, she assured her ‘you would find life, rest in JESUS and everything you need would be added to you beyond your imagination, not even comparable to a bumper harvest because HE knows all your needs. HE is available now. Do accept HIM as your LORD and PERSONAL Saviour and give your life to HIM, HE is waiting.
Juliet thought she could not figure how her life would be transformed but she could see that Auntie Melody was different, always peaceful and joyous. Surely, JESUS can do same for her. She smiled and said I am ready and willing.
Wow! What a joyous moment.
Melody led Juliet to our LORD JESUS Christ.
After this, Daniel woke up. Indeed, God is Awesome.
Beloved, that was how Juliet started a glorious new life. A new page, a new dawn. So much joy filled her heart.
Thank you so much for reading this post to the end.
I do invite you to please have a personal relationship with our LORD JESUS Christ if you do not have one yet. It’s a life transforming experience.
JESUS is the Light of the World.
How to go about it – simply repent of your sins, believe that HE died for you and rose again. Ask HIM to be your LORD and Saviour and confess the same, give your life to HIM.
Permit me to take you through the Scriptures.
Romans 5:8
‘But GOD commends HIS Love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.’
Romans 10:9-11
‘ If you openly declare that JESUS is LORD and believe in your heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with GOD, and it is by openly declaring your Faith that you are saved.’
As the Scriptures tell us, ‘Anyone who trusts in HIM will never be disgraced.’
Beloved, if you have given your life to HIM. Congratulations.

THIS IS AWESOME . I HAVE AS WELL SHARE IT. I LOVE THE RIGHT USE OF DICTION IN THE WRITE UP. WE CAN SEE HOW NECESSARY IT IS NOT TO EASILY GIVE UP ON THOSE WE ARE TRYING TO BRING TO CHRIST AND ASSURING US THERE IS STILL HOPE NO MATTER WHAT. NEVER CONDEMN YOURSELF. THERE IS STILL HOPE AND THE LIST OF BENEFITS THAT FOLLOWS IS ENDLESS. I PRAY THE HUNGER TO ACT LIKE MELODY FALL ON US IN JESUS MIGHTY. I ALSO PRAY THIS WRITE UP MELT HEARTS AND BRING THEM TO THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD FOREVER. MADAM, MAY YOU REMAIN RELEVANT IN KINGDOM WORK NOW AND AFTER YOUR DEATH YOU WILL STILL BE RELEVANT IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME. RECEIVE MORE GRACE TO DO MORE IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME. YOU ARE BLESSED.
