Dear Diary,
Faith and fear can’t be roommates.
Even though some people are waiting for you to get comfortable to be be naked only for them to bite you at your back,

Remember when another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over.

Such people don’t need punishment; they need help. That is the message they are sending.

Remember even heaven once had war, so spread love regardless.

Pay attention to those who love you enough to take from you but not to give you. Most importantly may you not be surrounded by those who are waiting to sponsor your funerals but not your dreams.

Remember, the fact that you are anointed doesn’t mean you are immediately appointed. Anointing matures with time and consistency .

Even David was anointed a king, he still served as a shepherd. Imagine sheep being looked after by a King?

Be humble when you could have been proud.
And don’t give up, because your blood will speak when it touches the ground. Therefore, don’t cook your blessings like Jacob thinking God can’t bless Esau.

Don’t step on others to rise. Don’t steal people’s spotlights. Because those who shine from within don’t need audience or crowd. They are enough!

Be kind when you received your answered prayers. Bless people with your answers.

Lastly have the courage to turn all adversities into university. Learn!

I am your friend, Tsifodze Ernest
It is well
