SWEET TALK

I once had a Lecturer who would tell every student that they were right when they made a suggestion. When they wrote the exam, they put those suggestions in the exam booklet and didn't do as well as they expected. He was a nice man and didn't want to offend anyone. 

I'm exactly like that man. I really hate to offend people, so much that I may sometimes come across as "fake" or "misleading" because I'm smiling 95% of the time in public. It's the same way with the gospel. When I tell people about Christ, I like to emphasise that God loves them and is just waiting for them to repent of their sins and come to Him. I mean, this is true. But I leave out the rest that if they don't repent, they'll go to hell fire because there are consequences for your actions and inactions. But I stumbled upon a verse in the Bible that emphasised that sweet talk is good for you, but real talk is better for you. We need tenderness but sometimes, we need people to be stern with us; in order to grow. Even God has stated that the only people He disciplines are the ones He loves. (Hebrews 12:6). I have a baby brother and I make a conscious effort to correct him when he's wrong because I love him. I've come to realise that if we are truly loving people, we need to tell them that God does love them unconditionally, but God also has a wrath. We need to pain the perfect picture of salvation and not just a pretty picture. It's not easy to do but it's an act of love.

I wanted to wear something simple and young-ish. Something about having a 9-5 makes me feel rather old. A denim jacket is an automatic way to feel “hip” for me. My younger sister thinks I’m so embarrassing when I wear it but I don’t care. To add some colour to it, I accessorized with this Muna Muoneke bag. (Now that I have moved back to Nigeria finally, I think it is important to support Nigerian designers). I love the bag because it’s not too big but it has enough room in it for all my essentials. (Plus, it’s affordable and the designer delivers to anywhere in Nigeria).
