Part 15
"Debby, what exactly did I do to you? If I call you, you won't pick up, and you wouldn't even reply my text messages and I know all this are done deliberately. So, I am here to ask you, what did I do wrong? James asked
"Well, I am sorry but you didn't do anything to me. It's just that...Don't worry" Debby said
"No, please spill it out and let's talk about it. I want to know so, just say it out. Don't worry, if it's something painful, I will handle it" James said.
"Okay, the thing is I don't like you. I know I am not supposed to say this but I just have to pour out my heart to you. I can't stand your presence, you irritate me. I am sorry I have to say it because, i can't keep faking everything again" Debby said frankly
"...it's fine but how can you say you don't like me, when you don't even know me yet? I am saying this, to correct your impression about people and not just me. If you are truly observant, you will know I don't live my life to please anyone. I live my life to please my Father(God).
A lot of people think I overreact or do things in excess, but tell me, if I can't show my Father how I truly love him now, will I do that if I am dead? No! You know what? I have heard a lot of things about me but you know what, I don't let that weigh me down.
Yes, I get a lot of hype and words from people, but I know those who love me. So please, I am not saying this to justify me or change your mind about me, but I am saying this to let you know my mind and I understand you. I beseech you just like Paul with say, let the love of God rule you. Jesus loves everyone. He even told us to love our enemies (Matt 5:44). Let love rule!
Also, this does not make me dislike you. I love you and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it" he said and smiled.
(1Corinthians 13: 4-8)
Debby was stricken by his words and she couldn't say anything...
"Okay, I guess we still have to talk later. Thank you ma" he said and left
Debby was still thinking of everything he said, and she felt guilty of how she reacted to him and judged him in her heart..
"Debby" Adediwura said and tapped her as she raised up her head.
"Yes" she said and smiled falsely
"Hmm...what happened? Elizabeth asked
"This is not your real smile" Wura said
"Ladies, it's nothing" she said as the pressy called everyone together for prayers
Debby prayed as being led and also prayed passionately for herself
"Father...I don't know what is going on with me but please, work in me and cleanse me daily. Purge me till I grow in the definition of love. Teach me to love people. Please let me understand what love is" she prayed and cried passionately.
Even after the prayers, she could not stop crying though, she didn't know if it was the words James said but she knew something deposited in her, and she realized she despises people.
Love formed us and took away our sin, pain,etc. We are expected to reciprocate love (John 3:16)
