I used to be so understanding, no matter how much people would hurt me. I used to accept different kinds of disrespect and pain and then forgive them afterwards. Yes, I used to be so forgiving and kind, even to those who didn't deserve me. It was just fine before, since I thought that keeping my hatred and pain would give everyone peace. I'm sure that they will like it that way. It's nice to treat people well, knowing that I am not hurting anyone and not even daring to make someone feel sad. Most people say that I should stay kind and that I should just let some people be who they are because if they do something bad to me, they say that it's a reflection of their attitude, not mine. I was told to be silent when I'm angry. I was told to keep my feelings to myself because nobody wants to hear my drama. I was told to stop explaining my side or sharing my stories because they would never care. I was told to understand everyone before myself. I was told to remain gentle with people even after I was brutally hurt. And most importantly, I was told that I should forgive people over and over again because they are just humans and they make mistakes. For a very long time, I felt like I did not have the right to be hurt or to be angry because I am a good person. I chose to give everyone peace while letting them ruin mine. And it's just so sad to see myself being destroyed by the ones who took advantage of my good heart. Being kind is okay, but tolerating everyone to hurt me just because I am a good person will never be okay. I realized that being so forgiving doesn't give anyone the right to treat me poorly. My hatred, sadness, pain, and all the heavy emotions I feel are valid. I can now fully understand that kindness should also have some limitations. Some people are not just worthy enough of my love, kindness, and understanding. But most of all, I hope everyone will learn that being human, who is capable of making mistakes, should not be an excuse to hurt someone. — Shiori X Art by: giselle_dekel (IG) | used with permission

"Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our growth." — Viktor E. Frankl We all face moments when our instincts pull us in the wrong direction. That little voice says, Give up. Take the easy way. Shut down. Lash out. But what if the key to becoming stronger, wiser, and more successful isn’t in following those impulses—but in resisting them? Think about it: - When you’re hurt and want to snap back, choose kindness instead. It doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means you’re strong enough not to let anger control you. - When you’re overwhelmed and want to scroll mindlessly, choose focus. Five minutes of real effort will always beat an hour of half-hearted distraction. - When fear whispers, You can’t do this, choose courage. Not because you’re fearless, but because you refuse to let fear decide your future. - When laziness tugs at you, choose discipline. Not because you have to, but because you owe yourself the satisfaction of knowing you showed up. - When it feels easier to shut people out, choose generosity. The world needs more warmth, not more walls. Every temptation is a test—not of your willpower, but of your growth. The easy choice keeps you where you are. The harder one moves you forward. So next time you feel that pull toward the comfortable, the careless, or the cynical, pause. Ask yourself: What would the best version of me do? Then do that. Because growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about choosing, again and again, to be better than your excuses. "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." — Romans 12:21 Wishing you a great day. © Godlove NJISONG

MARRIAGE WILL TEST YOU 1. IT WILL TEST YOUR MATURITY Especially during conflicts. Will you be mature enough to solve them, or will you be childish, dramatic and selfish? 2. IT WILL TEST YOUR LOVE It is easy to tell someone "I love you", but your commitment will be tested especially when you disagree, offense is done or challenges show up 3. IT WILL TEST YOUR FRUIT Do you bear the Fruit of the Spirit: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self control? Marriage will reveal this 4. IT WILL TEST YOUR PATIENCE There will be moments your spouse or children don’t get it right as quickly as you want them to, how will you handle it? 5. IT WILL TEST YOUR HUMILITY Will you be humble enough to apologize when wrong, humble enough to ask for help from your spouse? When you are better at something more than your spouse, will be full of yourself telling your spouse why can't he/she be like you? Or will you be humble enough to acknowledge you are the person that you are, not because of your sole effort or you are better than, but because God has been working on you? 6. IT WILL TEST YOUR WORDS It is easy to speak words and give promises. In marriage you will be held to account. It will be revealed whether you mean what you say 7. IT WILL TEST YOUR CHARACTER To outsiders you may pretend, but most often, your true character will be seen at home, outside of the public 8. IT WILL TEST YOUR SPIRIT Do you claim to believe in God? Well, how you treat your spouse will reveal whether you are led by the flesh: full of rudeness, revenge, treachery, conceited and insults; or by the Spirit 9. IT WILL TEST YOUR FAITH Many times as a couple or alone you will believe in God for something and it takes long to materialize. There will be moments when it will be questioned whether you believe the prayers you made for your marriage in the past

*The Disrespectful Wife: A Story of Love and Lessons* In a small village, there lived a couple, Nneoma and Chidi. They were once deeply in love, but over time, Nneoma's behavior changed. She became dismissive, critical, and disrespectful towards Chidi. Their home, once filled with laughter and warmth, grew cold and tense. Chidi tried to address the issues, but Nneoma wouldn't listen. She believed her way was the only way. One day, their young daughter, Ada, asked Nneoma why she spoke to Chidi that way. Nneoma realized her behavior was affecting their child and decided to reflect on her actions. She began to understand the value of respect, kindness, and empathy in their relationship. Nneoma made amends, and they started counseling together. Their journey wasn't easy, but they worked hard to rebuild their bond. They learned to communicate effectively, appreciate each other, and nurture a more loving relationship. Their story teaches us that relationships require effort, understanding, and forgiveness. By acknowledging our mistakes and working together, we can build stronger, more loving connections. JB WORLD

She fed a Poor Crippled Beggar Every Day, Until He Said I'm a Billionaire Part 1 This is the story of a poor girl named Isioma and a crippled beggar everyone laughed at. Isioma was just 18, yet still in Jss 3—a towering figure among classmates much younger than her. Her presence stood out in every classroom photograph, not because she sought attention, but because life had delayed her steps. Despite the whispers, the teasing, and the constant bullying about her age and size, she remained brilliant, the kind of girl who answered questions others were too scared to raise their hands for. Teachers admired her intellect, but students mocked what they didn’t understand. Behind her calm eyes was a mind that never stopped working, even when her body was drained. Every afternoon, as the final bell rang and other students scattered toward homes and snacks, Isioma’s day was only beginning. She hurried to the roadside market, arms loaded with palm fruit assigned to her by her stepmother. There was no rest, no pause. She had to sell every last one before returning, or dinner would be a privilege denied. Hunger had taught her discipline, but not bitterness. Even with sweat clinging to her brow and her legs trembling from exhaustion, she greeted customers politely, held no grudges, and kept her spirit intact. She didn't complain—she endured, because in her heart, she knew life had more for her than the corners she was being pushed into. Isioma had a quiet way of helping others, offering little services here and there—fetching water for the old, helping women carry goods from the market, watching over a neighbor’s stall without ever asking for a coin. She never demanded payment, only smiled and went her way, content with the small thank-yous or occasional tips. One day, her neighbor, Mama Tunde, pulled her aside and said sharply, “You keep doing things for free, but that’s not how the world works. You need to start collecting money, Isioma.” The girl simply looked down and replied gently, “But life isn’t always about money, ma. Sometimes, the peace you get from doing good is worth more than anything they can put in your hand.” At first, Mama Tunde scoffed at her words, shaking her head at what she thought was naivety. But over time, watching how Isioma’s kindness drew people in—how her genuine heart earned her more than money ever could—Mama Tunde began to see that maybe, just maybe, the poor girl understood something the rest of them had forgotten.

CHIMA THE OUTCAST: a tragedy forbidden love story In the heart of Igbo land, hundreds of years ago, lived a young man named Chima and a beautiful woman named Adaeze. Chima was an outcaste, born into a family that was shunned by society. Despite his family's poverty and low status, Chima possessed a heart full of love and a spirit that shone brightly. Adaeze, on the other hand, was the daughter of a wealthy and respected family. Her beauty was matched only by her kindness, and she saw in Chima a soul that resonated with her own. From the moment they met, Chima and Adaeze were inseparable. Their love blossomed in secret, away from the prying eyes of a society that would never accept their union. They met under the cover of night, in the dense forests and by the serene rivers, where they shared dreams of a future together, free from the chains of caste and wealth. Hu, was furious. They could not fathom their daughter marrying an outcaste, a man with no wealth or status. Instead, they arranged for Adaeze to marry Obinna, a rich man from their own caste. The wedding was set, and preparations began in earnest. The pain of separation was unbearable for Chima and Adaeze. Each day felt like an eternity, and the thought of living without each other was a torment they could not endure. They continued to meet in secret, their love growing stronger even as the day of Adaeze's wedding approached. On the eve of her wedding, Adaeze and Chima met one last time. Under the moonlit sky, they held each other close, tears streaming down their faces. They knew that they could not live in a world that would keep them apart. In a final act of love and defiance, they decided to end their lives together, rather than be separated by the cruel dictates of society. Hand in hand, they walked to the edge of a cliff overlooking the river where they had shared so many happy moments. With a final kiss, they leapt into the abyss, their souls intertwined forever. The next morning, their bodies were found, and the village was plunged into mourning. Chima and Adaeze's love story became a legend, a tale of forbidden love and the ultimate sacrifice. Their spirits were said to roam the forests and rivers, a reminder of a love so strong that not even death could keep them apart. Their story was a poignant reminder of the power of love and the cruelty of societal norms, a tale that would be told for generations to come. THE END

⚠️Jesus Christ is speaking to somebody here, saying, "I am here to turn your story around. I am here to meet with you and do for you and with you what will shock the world. Jehovah says, I will save your spirit. I will secure your eternity. I will secure your seat in the heavenlies. I will give you eternal life. I will manifest my goodness, my kindness, my mercy, and my compassion in your life. I will walk the journey of life with you. Every time you call on Me, I will be there. I will never leave you nor forsake you." Who is receiving this word?!

Friends i want you to know that your mind is beautiful garden. I choose what grows in it. I water it with godliness, righteousness and kindness, I pull out ungodliiness, unrighteousness and negativity and give it time and light of God's word to bloom

Nice People Don’t Win. They Get Eaten. You’re not a good person. You’re just scared. Scared they’ll leave. Scared they’ll think you’re mean. Scared you’ll look selfish. So you shrink. You smile. You serve. And then you break. Let me be clear: Kindness without boundaries is self-harm. You say “yes” to everyone because you’re too afraid to say “yes” to yourself. You want to be the “bigger person”? Okay. But even Jesus flipped tables when nonsense passed the limit. Stop hiding under “I’m just being nice.” You’re not nice. You’re convenient. And guess what the world does with convenient people? It drains them. Ditches them. Then replaces them with someone louder. Try this instead: —Say NO without blinking. —Walk away without guilt. —Be the villain in their story if it means being the hero in yours. You don’t owe anyone peace at your own expense. Let them talk. Let them hate. Let them wonder. You’re not here to be liked. You’re here to be free. 💥 Nice people finish last because they never start the damn race.

DAUGHTERS OF JEZEBEL 💀 (Campus war 🔥) Episode 15 Boss here is the boy they said while they were already forcing Dominic Bawa to go down on his knees. Blind folded him. Guys I told you people that I need money like m@d!!! I don't think the money they are going to pay us for this job will be enough. Let's use one stone to keel two birds. Collect hid phone let's call his family member for a ransom and after they send it then we can kpai him.Where is your phone!!! they shouted at him. In.... In ..... Inside my bag !! please don't keel me Dominic begged for his life. They brought out his phone and dial the recent contact which is his poor widow mother 🥹. Hello Dominic how are you doing? Now listen to me!!! this is not Dominic Bawa but he is in our custody. Say hello!! Say hello!! he shouted at Dominic while putting the phone on his ear. ( Remember he is not seeing 🥹 ). Hello mu....mmy he said stammering. Dominic what is happening to you his mother said this time she was already crying 😭😭. Now you listen to me you this old woman. I will send you an account number right now and you have just ten minutes to transfer the sum of five hundred thousand into it else you will come to the campus and carry your son's d ea d body. Aaaaaaaah his mother shouted. Dominic could hear his mother crying on phone and him too was crying. The most painful part wasn't him being kid n a p e d but hearing his mother cry. Please don't keel my son for me!!! I don't have money... I'm just a poor widow and that boy doesn't have a father!!! He is only lucky to get into that university by God's miraculous work... He is on scholarship please don't cut short his life for me... His father left me in this world and loosing him I don't think I can't survive it please have mercy on a poor widow 😭😭. As tears were rushing down his mother's eyes over there on phone so likewise Dominic was crying 😭😭😭. But he was also praying in his mind. It seems the voice of your son is not enough right?? I will snap his picture of him I have here with me and send it to you on through his Whatsapp and the next thing you will hear is g u n shot. Heeeeeeeeeeey God please save my son!!! that was the last thing his mother said before the phone was hang up. Where is the picture??? their leader demanded and it was given to him. Is there any need??? Please waste him let's get out of here. Wait!!!!!! he shouted. He beckon on the guy that wanted to pull the trigger to come closer. Are you sure is the person on this picture that is this??? Yes boss. Shit!!!!!! he exclaimed. He actually look at the clothes Dominic was wearing and shouted aaaaah it's true!!!!!!. What happened boss and what is true??? We can't keel him! What??? why ??? No harm must come to him not now, nor ever. He dialed Dominic mother's number again. Hello mummy I am very sorry ma!

Take him and returned him back to where you carried him he commanded. That was how Dominic Bawa was delivered. Now Donatus the leader of this g an g was the same young man that Dominic gave his loaf of bread to when he was going to lecturer earlier in the morning. The very one who was holding his stomach in pain. When he was told that it was the same person that was on the picture, he actually look at Dominic and realized that was exactly the clothes he was putting on earlier today. You remember when David was the king of Israel, when the enemies encamp them at zigla and took away all their belongings including their wives. And God said run after, overtake and recover. You remember it was one of the enemy soldier who fainted on the way and was abandoned that David and his army met, give him bread and water to drink and when he was revived, he showed them how they can conquer and recover all. Just a little help today, just a little act of kindness today might save you tomorrow. Donatus went straight to lecturer. Nothing! I repeat absolutely nothing must happen to this boy in this campus else you will have me to contend with he said and threw the picture back to her and left in great anger.. indeed his word say in proverbs chapter 16 vs 7 that when a man's way pleases the Lord, he make even his enemy to be at peace with him".. Hahaha hahaha hahaha lecturer Mariwa laugh. We shall see about that.
