At Jimmie’s eatery.

“Yemisi! “, Bolaji said as he stood up as soon as I got to his table

“Hello Bolaji, how are you”, I asked with a smile only Jesus could have put there

“I.. I’m good I give God all the glory, how are you?”, Bolaji asked before staring at my protuded stomach.

“I’m good Bolaji”, I said and we were quiet.

“I’m sorry for ending things between us that way, I was involved in an accident that almost claimed my life, it was at that point I realized that I wasn’t sure of where I was going to when I died, I couldn’t believe what I had gotten myself into over temporary pleasures of sex, I immediately repented before losing consciousness, I was told I had been unconscious for two weeks and when I was discharged, I left Kano to stay with my uncle who is my spiritual father so I could grow in the knowledge of God, I even got a new number as I did not know what to tell you”, Bolaji explained as soon we sat down.

“I’m happy to know you are growing spiritually again, I’m sorry for being a source of temptation to you”, I said knowing I was the one responsible for our sexual relationship.

“It’s no point blaming yourself Yemisi, let’s just thank God for intervening, how about you? Are you with God now?”, Bolaji asked

“By His mercy, He saved me from myself”, I said.

“I’m happy you kept the baby”, Bolaji said

“It’s more like I had no choice then but now I am growing to love my baby everyday, Bolaji it’s nice seeing you again, I am happy to know that you are with God now, so I would like to end our relationship”, I said looking at him.

“This is really good, I’m happy to hear this”, Bolaji said as he smiled

The baby! , I yelled inside as I thought he was too selfish to think of what he has done to me.

You wanted a sorry?, God asked me

Not like that Father but still he has hurt me!, all those abortions I did for him and now the doctor said I might never conceive again after giving birth to this baby, God who would marry a barren, and besides why does he get to go scot-free, I thought sadly as he left the eatery.

Forgive him Yemisi, that’s how to see what I am doing in your life even with your situation, God said to me as tears rolled down my eyes.


“I can not do it without Your help Lord, please help me to forgive Bolaji”, I said walking over to Dr Susan who hugged me

“God is with you in this Yemisi and even when life promises no beautiful future, God says He knows the thoughts He thinks towards you, thoughts of peace and not of disaster to give you a future and a hope,don’t give up when God has not given up on you, remember Christ in you is the hope of glory, it’s the hope that your tomorrow would be greater than your today, there’s nothing God can not do so trust Him with your life”, Dr Susan said as she drove me home.

With tears in my eyes as I did my devotion later that night, I submitted myself to God trusting Him to have His way.

God is with you.
