AYANFE'S HOPE NOTES

What do you do in a relationships where you are merely tolerated as against being wanted and celebrated? What do you when the acceptance and affirmations yoy desire aren't coming? How do you deal with the pain of rejection so you don't lose your mind or entire self?

Do you want to know my answer? LIVE! There you have it! Live your life, Independent of anyone's approval. Learn to live and be. Master the art of living deeply from within. Accept and celebrate yourself, independent of any external affirmations.

Sometimes love is not enough. Loving someone is not enough to sustain a relationship if the other party has made up his or her mind not to reciprocate. Being insistent on loving someone does not guarantee that the person will love you back. It takes two to tango. Even the Bible makes it clear that two people can't walk together except they are in agreement. Giving love does not mean you will receive it back, except the other party wants same. Love and loving becomes easier when both of you are on the same page with that decision. The moment that decision is standing on one leg, then pain sets in.

Rejection hurts. It hurts so badly and if left unchecked can wreck great havoc on the affected individual. There's nothing as painful as someone you adore taking your love for granted, thinking little of you or even walking out of your life. The sting of rejection when it is from someone you hold so dear can drive you crazy and leave you numb. However, must realise that someone's rejection of you must never be your assessment of your real value. Rejected or not, you're still valuable and a treasure worth fighting for.

Listeners of Ayanfe's Hope Notes share their love encounters with the Father! Of courses this love is also yours to experience and enjoy! All you need do is let the Father love you! He's waiting to do just that!

If you have gone through some form of deprivation or abuse, it can be pretty difficult to reconcile how God sees you with how you really feel about yourself. It takes a lot of getting used to to accept that you are a prince or princess when you have been treated like trash. Let God show and teach how important you are. Simply open up your heart and take in His love. He is a Father who spoils His own. From my experience, He does not bless you according to your background or upbrigning. He does so accroding to His resources which are inexhaustible. He will give you things you can't afford or possibly work for just so you will know that you are worthy.

The Father's love is so amazing! It's a love that's so indescribable! Its a love that pampers and indulges!

I have known the father's love for me, he's been good, he's been good. Through it all He's always there for me, he's been good to me!!!

So, what encounter have you had with the Father's Love? I really want to know. Here is one of mine!

There are good people and there are the bad ones. Don't shut your heart to life or the gift of people, just because of some few negative people. More importantly be determined to be a good person, the type who lightens other people's burdens, so that the memories they have of you is sweet, pleasant and such that provokes a blessing from their heart into your life.

Do you realise that good or bad, God is able to make all things work together for your good? So if there are people who are saying bad stuffs about you behind your back and have turned your challenges and trials into hot topics, please let them say! Don't forget God works in mysterious ways. While they're at it, God might just be using them to set you up for your next level!
