DOUBLE BLESSING, otherwise known as Ja’Naya and Jay’Den-Alexis, are twin sisters that love to write Christian novels. They graduated with an Associates of Arts in Creative Writing and a Bachelor’s Degree in English and Writing – Journalism. They both enjoy singing and sharing the Good News, John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Jay'Den-Alexis' Testimony:
I gave my life to the Lord when I was young. However, when I was eight years old, I noticed a person who called himself a Christian but didn’t live the Christian life. So, I rededicated my life to Christ when I was eight and told Jesus that I want to be a real Christian and show people what a true Christian is. My favorite scripture is, "You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you," (Song of Solomon 4:7).
Ja'Naya's Testimony:
I came to Christ when I was twelve. We were raised in a Christian home, and always knew and believed in God. But when I was about ten, I started to worry if I’d make it to heaven or not. I felt like I was a good person but knew Jesus was the only way. When I was twelve, I was watching a lady preacher on tv who said I needed to be on fire for Christ. God’s Spirit hit me in that moment, and I knew I needed to surrender my life to Jesus and become fully devoted to Him. So, I surrendered and literally felt God's hand on my back filling me with the Holy Spirit. Now I know I’m going to make it to heaven since Jesus lives inside me. "I baptize you with water for repentance, but after me will come One more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire," (Matthew 3:11).

Father's Talk
Have you ever felt like raving to someone? You just want to release all your frustration to a listening ear who won’t judge, condemn, harm, or call you names. You just want someone to sit with you and try to understand what you’re going through. Well, we have a Heavenly Father who will let us rant and rave to Him before he finally gives us peace and calms our souls and minds. Sometimes things seem overwhelming until we give them to a God who can control our emotions. So, allow God to sit with You today and give You a Father’s talk.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we don’t always want to come to You for our problems or our overthinking. But that is really the best thing to do. You can take it, keep it, and throw it away all while letting us release our pain, frustration, and turmoil and change our hearts and minds to peace, relaxation, and comfort. Lord, we thank You that You make us feel loved, wanted, and desired. Thank You for constantly make us fall in love with You.
How many times have we wanted a husband’s love? Arms wrapped around us firm and secure. The feeling of safety that is comforting and kind. Love that is vibrant and whole. Yes, I believe that many single ladies really want that kind, loving, God fearing man. And some day it will happen in God’s perfect timing.
However, we tend to forget that God can be that love for us always. I’m not completely sure how it works since Jesus isn’t down here on earth to give us a hug or a whisper of love in our ear. So I’m not claiming to have it all figured out. However, what I do know is that we must continue going to him and asking Him to make us whole through his love so that our hearts don’t yield to any fake love that we may run into. God will provide that longing as long as we’re longing after Him first.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, on this earth we all want someone to choose to love us. We want strong arms wrapped around us, loving whispers in our ear, and a love that is vibrant. But amid keeping our heart open to the one You have for us, help us keep our hearts full of Your love so that our hearts are closed to the wrong type of love. Matthew 19:26, " . . .with God all things are possible." "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me," (Philippians 4:13). In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
