Sheila Peters has the dream life everyone wants but things aren't really as they seem, she suffers in silence while the world admires her life, she lives a life where she just wants to be loved genuinely but would she ever find the kind of love tha...
ERIC Eric walked with the junior doctors for another ward round again, they recorded the observations they noticed while he conversed with the various patients , he was glad to see some of them improving, some of them would soon be discharged home, while some were going to go to nursing homes because it was going to be dangerous for them to stay at home alone, he examined the patients some more and relayed the findings back to the junior doctors on ward round with him. ****** Eric walked down the hallway into the pews in church, he was so glad he wasn't too late for bible study, he joined the worship happening as the choir sang a song he had come to love, he sang the lyrics to one of his favorite songs that talked about what Christ had done for them, he sang the lyrics tears washing down his face.
In Christ alone, who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones he came to save Till on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live
The gospel was truly beautiful , man needed to be saved and no one was perfect to save man but God alone so he let himself come to earth and he was scorned greatly by those he came to save but most of them never realized he was the one they had been waiting for their whole lives, The God of the whole universe came on earth , he was born like every other person and he was the only one capable of truly saving us and Eric was so grateful to God for coming to save him.
Everyone sat on their seats as pastor mounted on the stage, the pastor began by thanking them for coming and moving straight to the sermon of the day.
"So I ask the church again, what is true love, is it just mere feelings.....because if it was just a feeling, how do you explain Jesus choosing to still die on the cross despite the insults that men and women rained on him.....you can imagine that for most of them he had healed them, brought their dead back to life, but how was it that the ones he came to save were out to destroy him, truly looking at the definitions of love given by the world , you see that's there's only one perfect love that's shown to us, the love God showed to us even while we were still sinners, truly love is a person and that person is God, God is love, he didn't just say he loved us, he demonstrated it to us even while we were still sinners, he loved us unconditionally".
Eric listened with rapt attention to Pastor Mike, jotting a few things he could note.
"You know at the start of every marriage, couples claim to love each other with all their hearts, but what happens when a partner cheats , would you still love the person unconditionally, I am not supporting cheating, I am just asking if the love we claim to have for each other can stand the test of time, according to 1 Corinthians 13:7:Love never gives up, never loses faith , is always hopeful , and endures through every circumstance, this is the love God demonstrated to us, he never stopped chasing after us even we are wrong, this is the kind of love God also expects us to show other believers, he wants us to show a love that's unfeigned, one that's genuine....can we actually do this by our own strength, definitely not, can we bow our heads and ask God to help us not just to receive his love but to also be willing to show it to others.
Eric bowed his head that evening, realizing that even though he loved people , there was still a kind of love God expected him to show to others, the God kind of love, "Lord please help me....I can't do this by myself ". ******* SHEILA Sheila smiled as she read the comment section on the picture she had posted of she and Dominic when they went to the beach earlier today,she had captioned it, "The one who loves me unconditionally ", she smiled as she looked at the pictures she and Dominic had taken that day, Dominic was slowing changing, becoming more tender towards her, he was even better than when she had first met him , her life was becoming better and she was grateful, she smiled as she saw a comment that read "You guys are so sweet, praying for a love like yours", she didn't know if she wanted the person's prayer to be answered, because it had taken a lot for her and Dominic to get to where they were currently, Dominic was working late today, he had finally started his tech company with some of the money she had given him and he seemed to be doing well too, she was grateful for how her father planned her life for her, even if he wasn't present now, her father had inherited a multi billion dollar company that specialized in importing and exporting a variety of food related items across different continents, he had wrote in his will that a tenth of the company's profits should go to her every month and had left the company in the hands of his late brother's son, her life was truly in place though she wondered how her mum and sisters would be coping since hardly anything was left for them, she felt bad too but they also deserved it for always treating her badly.
She returned her attention to her phone and smiled as her like count increased, many more people were commenting .
"Seriously, who doesn't want to live as Sheila Peters at least even if it's just for a day ".
"You guys look so sexy, show us the way", a user named nigerian_babe commented"
"This is the life I want my children to live , going on boat cruises, flying across the country and dating hot boys...can't wait for Dominic to finally pop the question".
That comment stopped her, throughout the past months after her almost sending him out of the house, he had been good to her...but come to think if it....Dominic had never talked about their relationship being long term....was he planning to use and dump her, anytime she tried to talk about getting married , Dominic quickly dismissed it changing the topic. She suddenly felt nauseous, maybe she was cracking her head too much, she thought rubbing her head, but the more she tried to stay calm the more she felt like a huge wave of nausea was coming to her, she ran to the bathroom and vomited there..,this was strange , Sheila was never sick....could she be pregnant.....come to think of it, it wouldn't be a bad idea, it could get Dominic to propose to her on time, well there was only one way to find out, she thought to herself and took her keys , she was going to visit a pharmacy and buy some pregnancy test kits.
