Hearts mixed with 2 Emotions

 

How can one have two powerful emotions reside in him or herself side by side. It's like a landlord or landlady have two very opposing tennants living in the same compound!

Let us give you a perfect example;

Yesterday during our night devotion, this gospel song came to our spirits to worship God - 'Creator of the universe' by Ada Ehi . This song is one of our mum's favourite songs, but as we sang this particular danceable song we felt a surge of both mixed emotions- Joy and sadness.

Sadness because, How can the one we loved the most no more be on this earth?, Why did God decide to take her at this point of our lives?

On the other hand, Joy because she is in the presence of the one who knows how to love best,

Joy because she has finished her race and has heard "Well-done Good and Faithful servant!"

Joy, because even on the day of her transition, she said unknowingly amidst beams of smiles, "Even if I die today, I know I have sooo many crowns in Heaven waiting for me". Little did we know, you were speaking the mind of God.

Accepting the transition of our mother has been one of the hardest yet joyful experience for us. It is very hard to accept, however, when we think of where she is now, it brings us so much Joy.

Dear fam, 

It is okay to have two opposing emotions fight for the upper hand in your heart, but we URGE you to keep choosing JOY because that's what your loved one would have wanted for you and secondly, You are going to pull through this grief and come out stronger and better.

We love you and we are rooting for you.
