*INVESTMENT 0️⃣0️⃣1️⃣: Your HEART 💜 or Your MONEY 💰❓* *TOC- Table of Content* - "I LOVE YOU" - "I DO" - "IN GOD WE TRUST" - "I DON'T NEED GOD NOW" - "I NEED MONEY" - "GOD NEEDS YOUR HEART" - THE WAY OUT *"I LOVE YOU"* - I walked into his room. There he was wrapped in his blanket. I asked what the problem was. He was running from what in his heart was love. I next told him, hiding from your feelings, wasn't the solution. Facing it was. Many years later, he'd quote me for that rescue advice. He's married now, a pastor based in South Africa. Recently I watched him preached, advising his congregation on how to live life. Yes, at some point, men and women are swayed by the deep feelings best described as infatuation or love. Some say the former and latter are from the head 🗣️ and heart 💜 respectively. And such feelings moved majority to say *"I love you🙋🏿"* what happens next❓ *"I DO"* A lot follow their feelings legitimately or illegally, and not too long, two faces are starring at themselves and declaring *"I do!"*- becomes the muzzle💪🏾What next would puzzle the players. *"IN GOD WE TRUST"* In their decision making, very few carry God along - it's a love 💕 affair. Then; *"I leave it to God!"* A friend at this bustop, had declared, I *"made a mistake."* A lady was blatant; *"I just married him to please my family."* To the weary, the pleasure, turned struggle becomes a prayer point. The pleasure trip, turned Endurance trek. Some wait, a lot break 💔 Blame game and trade begins 🙄😳 *"I DON'T NEED GOD NOW"* Didn't Abraham Lincoln, declared to a man who said: *"I don't need God."* That; *"You just relieved God of a great responsibility!"* Life turns and twists, pushed a lot to question and disdain Divinity. Openly declaring war with their Creator. They query their love go wrong decision on God. They opt for the idol. *"I NEED MONEY"* The substitute for love, becomes money. It must be noted, from the very beginning - love and infatuation. Money was key, but a lot pretended it wasn't key and relevant. Suffice to note, most love stories were brought down majorly by the lack of money and the excess of money 💰 - blinded eyes got opened and one was magnanimous to declare; *"Love may be blind, but marriage is an eye opener!"* Bills, fees and other financial obligations swallows up every thing and births resentment and a life of money-chase - pursuit. Oh humanity ❗ *"GOD NEEDS YOUR HEART"* In all the vicissitude and travails. The Creator who gave everything, including the wife and husband. Needs just one thing - YOUR HEART 💜 Unfortunately, we give our hearts to other, quests and pursuits. When it's broken, we blame God and very few are bold to return their broken hearts💔 to God. No matter, when, as long as man is alive, God wants the heart. The earlier the better, the later, could be disastrous. For if we give God our hearts 💕 earlier enough, we could avoid the brokenness 🙆🏿‍♀️ *INVESTMENT 0️⃣0️⃣1️⃣: Your HEART 💜 or Your MONEY 💰❓* If you'd enjoy life, invest more in your heart, because most of the challenges you'd face the whole of your life, are decisions made with your heart. While some invest in money, neglecting their hearts, they pierce the whole of their lives with pains, struggles, challenges and lots of broken hearts - divorces, several wives and husbands, misled children, misery and stolen wealth. While the outside world may celebrate them, their inside (heart's beats) disdains and condemns them. Such become, thoughtless and wicked religious and secular leaders, careless parents, vicious wives, horrible husbands, criminals and radicals because inside them and within them, the daily cries from their heart beats is *"YOU'RE A FAILURE!"* *THE WAY OUT* No matter what the external forces say about you, they may call you the best of names. What matters most is your inner peace and only God can put peace there. From the staples of the lone voice crying in the wilderness.
