Me: Good morning Dad.
God: Good morning Ada Nkem, how’s everything?

Me: We keep pushing dad. I came today with a pertinent puzzle. I need help.
God: I’m all here.

Me: This issue of love and marriage confuses me a lot. You know, I used to believe you give us what we desire. Like, prior to now I thought you will send me men what all the characters and qualities I want.

Now, when I see these men that have everything I want, for some reasons it doesn’t click.

Then, you send me people I won’t cast a second glance at ordinarily. Daddy explain to me, please. I came ready today.

I won’t leave till I have all my answers.

Dad: Okay, this question is valid. But most times, it’s only time that gives you the real response to this question. You only get to fully grasp it with time.

Me: Well… The thing is, I’m not leaving without any answer. I see married people talking about how the man/woman wasn’t what they wanted. But, they “just knew”. But, I don’t want that daddy. I want him as I want it. I deserve my choice.
Dad: That’s what I give, I give your choice.

Me: We can look at the records dad, which of them were?
Dad: No, no, no, don’t put this on me. You were with other men that I didn’t give you.

Me: Because they looked like what I wanted and I reasoned it was you.
Dad: That’s on you. But why didn’t it work out?

Me: Irreconcilable differences🌚. I dunno sha, something always happens. Something I can’t just sweep under the carpet. Or daddy is it me? Is it that I can’t love people? Is it that I can’t get to commit.
Dad: It’s not all that, the reason is simple. You don’t want to dig deep because you know deep down, that when you do, you will find answers and you are afraid about the outcome of those responses. You prefer to walk blindly, you prefer to just let life take you.

You know the right thing, but somehow not doing it makes you feel better. But then, that’s why peace has eluded you.

Me: There is been no truer words. I’m ready.
God: What do you think was wrong with Adam and Eve?

Me: They don’t listen.
God: True, but you don’t also listen. What else?

Me: Daddy calm na, na me come meet you o. No dey attack me like this. I don’t know what was wrong with them accept disobedience. They were perfect people.
God: There you go, perfection was one of their problem.

Me: How?
God: I gave them everything they could ever want, and it gave them room to search for imperfection. Because perfection can be boring. Would you agree?

Me: Hmmmmmm… I thought the daily strife is to get to perfection.
God: What are the memories that lingers? Arriving perfection or the journey of perfection.

Me: The journey…
God: There you have your answer.

What does gold look like when you see it?

Me: A very dirty piece of metal.
God: What makes a refiner work on gold?

Me: Money?
God: Think my child, I know you know the answer.

Me: The perfection he knows the metal will achieve after refining.
God: If the gold was in it’s purest form from the onset, will it be this valuable?

Me: Well….
God: What comes easy is not mostly valued or appreciated. Just like the garden of Eden came easy for Adam and Eve. But their natural instinct wanted to still find more when they had it all.

Me: hmmmmm
God: Gold is valued because of it’s process.

To now answer your question. Yes, I give people their heart desires. I give them their heart desires in a way they will VALUE and APPRECIATE IT.

All men are different and I connect to them according to the way their mind works.

There are people that get what they want upfront because of the journey they have been through.

Because of their level of faith, because of their design. It’s different for everyone.

But, they will still have to refine what they want in the marriage.

Me: this is deep.
God: And for others, I still give them what they want laced with the refining they have to do. This is why I say, time gives a full grasp. It’s in time you see, THIS IS WHAT YOU REALLY WANTED but laced with the DIRT YOU NEED TO REFINE TO VALUE THE PROCESS.

Those that have what they want upfront, they have the DIRT LYING BENEATH. The thing is, THE DIRT IS ALWAYS THERE. But, the dirt comes to each man in a way he/she can handle.

It could be physique, finance, character defect, health, background defect… THE DIRT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE.
The reason is simple…

Me: Perfection is an illusion and humans don’t value perfection except they understand the journey.
God: There you go my daughter.

Now, you fully grasp it.

For another, I might have explained further. But, I know this would do for you.

Me: Yeah, I get it.
God: Always remember, I know your innate desires and always provides it. At times you think your desires should come with your wants.

But, I know when your wants fade, you will hunger for the desire because that’s what you really need.

So, I bypass your wants if I see you are mature enough and give you, your desires.

Never forget, even when you get your desire, you still need me to work on it.

I created you in a way you can’t live without me.

Perfection makes you independent. A perfect life will give you no journey.

Me: I get it, I get it all.
Dad: I love you.

Me: I love you more, thank you so much Dad.
I will be back…
