#LESSON TWO

Dear friend,

Today I will be sharing with you lesson two and how I got to learn it. Before I do, permit me to say that learning does not happen in one night or one day. It is possible to identify the lesson, but being able to apply it consistently and make it a part of yourself may take a while. In other words, hearing it does not equal learning it. We can hear what we have not learnt. For example; you may have heard that it is more blessed to give than to receive and still have a problem giving because you have not learnt to give.

Everything God teaches us is so we can learn it, become it and teach it. But we immediately try teaching it without trusting God to help us learn and become it.

Lesson two stood out for me because in the midst of the hard week I was often without what to say. I did not even know how to explain anything to anyone, so I would preferred not to say anything at all or to talk about what was happening. So I was often asking God to let me know what He was saying. Little did I know that there was also a lesson in it for me.

LESSON TWO

2. Words alone does not say everything.

You must learn not to always be the one talking. Do not also try to always talk your way out of a place. Sometimes we must learn to let things (gifts, a trip, a hug or a listening ear) do the talking. The time I spent listening to God, took away the many questions I had and wanted to ask.

I noticed that within everyone who came to the house, some did not know what to say, other did, but could not find the right words, and the rest had the right words and were able to communicate it properly. Nevertheless, I discovered that some persons who came with gifts did not have much to say, and other who came to just be with us (by spending a night or two), their presence said, "I am here for you," just like the people with gifts, and for me that was loud.

Certain times when you cannot talk, just spend time listening to God. When words fail you, just let a simple gift or a hug say what you intend to say. You can spend quality time with someone and not talk but say everything you ever wanted to say. Words can be limited, they can only go as far as they can go.
