Love always wins!

"Bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity." Colossians 3:13-14

Today I am here to praise the Lord for the holiday season, which was not how I planned, but how my Beloved allowed it to happen!

In my plans, I thought about getting together here at my house with my family: brothers, mother, nephews and other relatives, as it was not our desire to leave our home, but to have a pleasant moment right here. Above all, a few days before Christmas, we went through a conflict between my daughter and my sister, it was something I wasn't expecting to happen, when I got home the confusion was already happening, but I needed to look for my Beloved Lord at the exact moment for wisdom to deal with the situation, and what He gave me was that I wasn't supposed to take sides with either of them, but to keep quiet and wait for the right moment to speak.

I simply told my sister that I couldn't talk to her at that moment, as I was leaving for work. And so, He assured me that what I said at that moment would only further fuel the spirit of confusion. And my few words made my sister leave and I went to my work. I confess to you that it was a little difficult not to say anything, because that was my nature, to talk too much. But, He gave me the self-control to get through the situation without further fueling the confusion that was created for a moment between them. I asked my Beloved for wisdom to deal with the situation correctly and for Him to convince them of their mistakes. Usually in a situation like this, it was in my nature to get angry at both of them and talk more than I should, but only the other day, which He orchestrated so that I could talk to our daughter, without anger or other bad feelings, and He gave me the opportunity to teach her, that even when we seem wronged, we must remain silent, because badly spoken words only make the situation worse, that we have to learn not to give fuel to the enemy to destroy us from within, because many times He will use the people who are closest to us or the ones we love most to destabilize us.

This is why we don't spend Christmas with the whole family together. But, most importantly, I had His company, because with Him I am never alone. We made delicious food and socialized at one of my brothers' house and at the end of the year we had a little dinner at our house, it was beautiful and radiant, in complete peace, as my Beloved Lord deserves💕 And I could feel all the care from my Beloved in dealing with this situation, without ceasing to love each one the way He loved me.

After a few days, I was also able to talk to my sister and ask for forgiveness, regardless of her mistakes or successes, I said that she would continue to be my sister, just as my daughter would continue to be my daughter, nothing could change that, and that regardless of what happened we were here and who loved them deeply. And that at the right time God would restore their relationship, which at the moment was shaken, as they hurt each other.

Dear ones for a moment, the enemy wanted to take away my joy, but I handed the whole situation over to my Beloved, and He gave me the joy of spending Christmas happily by His side and continuing to show love for both of us, regardless of what had happened. In the end, on December 31st I was able to rejoice with the gift of forgiveness between them (something that seemed impossible), in the same place where the enemy wanted to cause discord and the breaking of family ties, my Beloved made me witness that Love always wins! My home is not a place of confusion and discord, but of love and forgiveness!

We were able to get excited together! And I was moved by how our Beloved does everything perfectly, even if the scenario seems otherwise, He always wants to bless us! And he even used my brother-in-law's mouth to say how much he admired me, for the woman I was becoming and that the man who married me would be very blessed. Smiling because I knew who those words came from: My Beloved!😍🤭

And I am grateful to my Beloved, because behind an apparent curse, we receive the blessings of forgiveness and love, that even in difficult situations that we may go through with our loved ones, He is by our side to make us win in the right way, and He gave me the blessing of, as an older woman, teaching my daughter and my sister the value of forgiveness and love, that in the face of situations that befall us we have to learn to remain silent, because in moments of anger, we speak things that hurt and hurt deeply, that our mouth has to be to bless and not to curse!

Gratitude my dear, because the scenario of the end of year festivities, in the eyes of the world, could be one of destruction or curse, as there were tests on my health and that of my son too, who, through the power of his Word, healed us, transforming us into scene of blessings and learning!

And the blessings don't stop there, on the first day of the year, my Beloved blessed me with the arrival of my earthly husband here in our house, where He came to see our son and something I didn't expect was that he would take my hand and hug me wishing you a Happy New Year, with health and prosperity.

Dear ones, I am bringing this blessing here, which seems to be simple, but behind it there is an answer to prayer. When we separated our son was very young, so he didn't have a complete family image in his life, so I prayed to my Beloved to provide this memory for our son. And my Beloved, it reminded me that He is answering my prayer, not in the way I imagined in my head, but in His own way and at the right time. The scene for our son, was him on his father's lap and hugging his mother, it was just a few more minutes that will certainly remain in our boy's memory: His family was together for a minute. 👪😍🙏

And He continued speaking to my heart, that this is just a glimpse of what He is still preparing for our family.

"Happy are those who work for peace, for God will treat them as his children." (Matthew 5:9)

"Do not be angry with one another and forgive one another if someone has a grievance against another person. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, forgive one another. And, above all, have love, for love perfectly unites all things. " (Colossians 3: 13-14)
