β Today's Promise: "This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2: 3-4

Dear brides, my Love transforms me and uses me and I am so very grateful for that. I spent the Easter holidays with my parents, and even though I was afraid I wouldn't be able to, because I've been losing patience with them lately, it was very good. I even extended my stay with them by a day, my Beloved arranged it that way. And despite the fact that my mother always stops my dad when he wants to pick me up in my city and take me to them (distance about 75 km one way), this time she even suggested it herself and I had this luxury trip by car Before I arrived I prayed He would bless our time together and I think it was a very pleasant stay for 5 days.
I also spent some time with my cousin and her family. I listened a lot during our conversations and she talked a lot, so it's mostly. She suddenly told me that I never complain and that I seem so satisfied. I was quite surprised because she told me several times in the past that I was still complaining. All praise and thanks belong to my Love, because satisfaction is not in my female "nature". He did it all.
My cousin never had a relationship with God, she never went to church, she studied history, and she took God more or less as a human invention. In our conversation, I was able to share with her the fact that I also need to talk, complain, share my emotions and problems, but that I do it only with God, that is how we build our relationship and that is why I am so satisfied. I realized that she often confided in me about the church and asked questions, often criticized the hypocritical behavior of the people in their church, and made no secret of the fact that she was not a believer because she simply did not feel that way. I think she's also doing this because I don't judge her for it and because she can talk openly with me. I believe that my Love will use all this for good and that I will be in her life as a love letter from God that she will read. I believe that my Love will enable me to do this, because I am not able to make her fall in love with God, but He can do it, and I pray that He would draw her to Himself, as He already did with me and you.
