WISDOM 4 WINNING

WHOSE FAULT II

I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting, underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door. The note went thus…"My dear, I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to explain the reasons further.” This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading. “When you use the computer you always mess up the software programs, then you cry in front of the screen. I have to save my fingers so I can help to restore the programs. You're fond of leaving the house keys behind, thus, I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you. You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city, I have to save my eyes to show you the way. You always have the cramps whenever your “good friend” approach every month, I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy. You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom. You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes, I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails, and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand…and tell you the color of flowers, just like the color of the glow on your young face. Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do…I could not pick that flower yet, and die. Because, I desire to grow old with you”

At this point tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably, blurring the ink of his handwriting…I continued reading. “Now, that you have finished reading my answer, if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk" I rushed to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread. Now I am very sure that no one will love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone.

That’s life, and love. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness. Love shows up in all forms, even very small and cheeky forms, it has never been a model, it could be the most dull and boring form. Flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands. and that’s our life. Love, not words, win arguments.

Beloved, if we can but only look inward we'll be able to correct majority of the problems facing hitherto loving relationships. In our illustration she felt her husband was the problem whereas she was part of the problem. Divorce isn't always the answer, neither is a new spouse or partner. We're supposed to enjoy, not endure our relationships.

WISDOM NUGGET: Colossians 3:12
"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience" - ESV

Let us pray: Father give me a heart of patience today, in Jesus name.
