Perennially Rejected, Forever Loved - Pete Odera

  • Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
  • Navigating the adult world is confusing and frustrating for any young man. Pete Odera was trying to mark his space in the adult world, build a fledgling career as a minister of God's word, an artiste and find love to last a lifetime. Pete was rejected thrice by women he thought were 'the one.' This dented his confidence seriously and he decided to be done with women. He built up a wall to protect himself from being hurt ever again.
    Then love found him, love like he would never have imagined. Love so giving and so pure. This love has transformed him and stayed by his side for more than 2 decades. This is a story of hope, of faith, a story of love.
    Love takes courage. Love trusts. Love sees who you can become and how much better you can become.

    Powerful words..." I thought I was the lover until I was loved like this. Love is not romance. Love is selfless, Love trusts, Love sees who you are and who you can become. Love conquers all. Love takes courage and faith. Love is a choice. I am learning to live with the fear of rejection because I know that LOVE conquers fear."

    In this world full of 'glamorous' tales of who Mr Right should be, with lists and list of external qualities that pass muster and that meet the approval of others, this story of finding real love, that stems from the inside is very refreshing. Moving lessons to learn about the yardsticks to truly measure true love against. Qualities that rise from the inside. Thank you for sharing so candidly Pete Odera.

    Well articulated story .
    I dont know why God would let even his own faithful minister kiss frogs before he met the right one.
    As young people we should learn to just love for the wrong reasons that ends us up rejecting or heartbreaking each other.
    Being rejected can harbour a lifetime pain.
    Pete you are strong and am glad you finally got love ,true love..
