I met Jay few years ago in a youth conference organized by House on the Rock, in Lagos State, Nigeria. Jay had been a very helpful and inspiring friend since the day we met. He was a medical doctor, and just as medical practitioners take care of their patients, Jay was as loving as Romeo. On several occasions, he will pay for a seminars so I could attend. He always wanted the best for me, and doesn't mind going extra miles just to make sure I'm fine.
Unfortunately, things fell apart when I met Ramsey. Ramsey was a very influential politician, he was the richest dude in Lagos State as at then. He had spoilt me with a lot of luxury that I could'nt think of turning him down. Money was never his problem, so he didn't mind spending on me. I thought it was genuine love, so I decided to end my relationship with Jay just to be with Ramsey. Jay cried heavily, I've never seen a man crying over a lady the way Jay cried and pleaded for me to return. "I know you love me, but I've found someone who loves me far better than you do" I walked out of him immediately I dropped those words. I knew he was deeply hurt, but I never cared, afterall, my new found love had it all.
Few days later, Jay came to plead again but I was so angry that I spat on him and ordered him out of my compound.
Not long after he left, Ramsey arrived in his lamborghini. I gave him a warm hug and helped carry his suitcase inside my room. Surprisingly, he handed me a car key. It was my 20th birthday and I was super excited. That night, we had the hottest sex ever, he called it a "birthday sex", and the feeling was wow. Before now, I had already aborted 7 good times for him. Each time I terminate a pregnancy, he compensated me with a good amount of money, so I had no regrets.
Few months later, I got so ill. Ramsey was nowhere to be found, he had messaged me not to ever call him again because his transaction had ended with me. I cried ceaselessly especially when the laboratory test I went for confirmed me HIV positive. I had nowhere to run to, I began regreting ever leaving Jay for a beast named Ramsey. Throughout the night, sleep left my eyes, tears were flowing like a pool of water. I was lost in pains and sorrows, food was like a poison in my mouth and water became as bitter as vinegar.
Early the next morning, I was ready to drink a poison when someone rushed inside my room. Look and behold it was Jay, my first true love whom I discarded for a wolf. "I'm extremely sorry Jay, I don't believe you can ever forgive me, but just know that I'm deeply sorry."
" No problem" he said, "I still love you."
Jay, I called him; " you can't love me, I've aborted 7 times, I'm HIV positive. What's there for you to love about me? Allow me to drink my poison, I'm tired of this life... "
Immediately, Jay held me close to himself, wiped my tears, and said the following words:
"The cure to HIV is in my hands."
" Come let us reason together; though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though they are red like crimson, they shall become as wool. "
"... for I have loved you with an everlasting love"
"I'll blot out your sins, and I'll remember your iniquity no more." #THE END!
Jay in the story represents Jesus while Ramsey represents the devil whose job is to draw people far from God.
This story teaches that no sin is unforgiveable by God. He is always waiting for the day we will acknowledge our sins and turn from evil, so he could draw close to us and renew our life.
Hope you benefited from this story.
