If you marry and you no dey care about your husband or wife most times, this go be problem.  When person no dey care, e mean say sincere concern for the good of the other person dey lack.  To dey forget na sign say person no dey care, because when person care only small, e easy to forget.  For example, if you forget one important anniversary for your marriage, this fit be sign say either you no dey remember things well at all or your heart no dey care.  If na your heart no dey care, this dey cause plenty hurt for that relationship.  One reason why e dey cause plenty hurt na say wetin cause the hurt no easy to notice.  If person take action to do something wey hurt another person, e easier to point am out.  When person no dey care, na action wey involve not doing something because something wey suppose dey there dey missing.  But this kind action fit hurt person just as much as action wey people fit notice more easily, or even hurt am pass.  Na so e be with God.  When we no dey care about Him and His Mercy through wetin we fail to do, and when we “forget” to turn to Him day and night, we dey cause His Sacred Heart plenty pain (See Diary #1537).

Today, examine your conscience and try to honestly see any way wey you dey struggle with not caring.  E fit no too clear to you.  You fit no even realise say na sin and e dey cause plenty hurt to other people.  But this kind neglect dey cause deep wounds as time dey pass.  Try examine your conscience with honest heart, and if you realise say na this sin you dey commit, no waste time to do something about am.  Begin care again for the people wey God don put for your life, and especially turn your heart again to care about God and the Mercy wey E want give you.  If you no dey care about the Mercy of God, this dey wound His Heart and dey cause you even more harm as time dey pass.

Lord, I want care as much as I fit.  Help me to always remember the other people for my life and know wetin dem go need before dem ask, as I dey show dem plenty love.  Help me too to always remember Your Mercy and never fail to care about this most holy gift.  Jesus, na You I trust.
