Love Portion

By Helene Mputu

It took me a while to realize this but love has made me happy countless times. It has brought me out of the darkness and into the light. It made me realize that love doesn’t mean that you need to have money, fame, or boyfriend/girlfriend. Even if you have a house to live in and someone to take care of you; to ask you if you’re eating well, sleeping well, or studying well, to ask you if you can survive every day without crying, then that’s love.
It's also called a self love where you love your existence first, being you, love yourself before anyone else says that to you.
Love doesn’t need to be counted; it needs to be cherished.

This book is dedicated to my fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord. Those that have accepted to follow the path of Jesus Christ, to walk in love and demonstrate it in their daily lives either at work or with their friends and families but along the way, they came across persecution, betrayal, abandonment, failure and unforgiveness from the people they dearly loved. This book will came remind you that God loves all humans and still has a purpose for each person. He is the creator and has a covenant with His people in term of relationship he said: I will be their God and they will be my people (Jer. 31:32), we both know that God’s words are true, He is able to take care of you, heal you, meet you in your failure or any type of addiction and give you a new hope. God is good all the time, through His love and mercy; we are forgiven, blessed, redeemed, we received God’s grace and favour, peace that no men can give us, and our prayers have been answered. The Book of Psalms also recalls the goodness of God, and here is what it says: oh give thanks to the Lord for He is good! For His mercy endures forever (Ps. 107:1), therefore we are obligated to thank God in the good and in the bad time; show love to everyone including those who don’t like us.

I wish to thank any members at Author House, they’ve taken more time and being so patient with me. I was pregnant during the time that I was writing this book and throughout the pandemic time, which affected the world, working with you was an amazing experience. I learnt a lot since I became in contact with your team, thank you so much.

Thanks to my family, my beloved husband and lovely kids who always encouraged me to do better, no matter what I was going through in my life, deep down their love kept me going and was able to make that change and come back better.

I finally say a big THANK you to God for making this possible. He is the master of time and season, He put the dream in me and revived it, glory and honour be to HIM FOREVER.

Introduction

GOD LOVES YOU

Love is a person, and that person is Jesus Christ, the son of God, who left heaven and come here on earth to sacrifice his life for all humans two thousand years ago in Jerusalem. This happened in real life that he was buried and resurrected on the third day. He appeared to so many people at once after His death, he ascended to heaven and will come again in glory.

This book will help you understand the love of God for human in a different way. Do you know why people feel abandoned? Is it that they are thinking that no one loves them, this is sad because they also include God’s love to this, believe me, they will say in their hearts if God exist why this suffering, why this sickness, why bad thing keep happening, and why this addiction for a long time, why the abused in marriage? You may never feel happy or have the joy to live? Don’t let your love for God vanish just because you are going through tuff situations, the bible tells us: Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep." No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom. 8:31-39 NLT).

God can replace any rejection, present suffering, and other negatives things in your life if you come back to Him with all your heart. God loves us first, I hope you begin to understand where I am going with this, before that husband who walked away told you they loved you, remember, God did show you love first. He said: I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End (Rev. 1:8 NIL), You have Him you have everything. Even if you lost Him, He would find you again.

Every good gift comes from God just believe in God and receive it today. The bible tells us: Like cold water to a weary soul, is good news from a distant land (Prov.25:25 NIL). I decree and declare good news for you today; If you have been rejected in marriage receive a new partner who is going to
