If you give your best to the right people, you'll never be disappointed. Even the Bible says not to give your pearls to swine. (Matthew 7:6)— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) April 5, 2016
If people lived by this tweet, life would be much better. Relationships would be lasting and no one would be bitter over bad relationships. Because some people are too trusting, they give their best to this & that person, not having done their homework on said person. Some people are good pretenders, meaning they'll portray themselves as adorable, so they can get your best. Once the mask wears off, they're true colors show and you're mad at the world because you found out you've given your best to the wrong people. Not everyone is deserving of your best, so choose wisely who you give to. Matthew 7:6 cautions against giving pearls to swine, meaning not everyone will appreciate the goodness you give them. Why then do people set themselves up for disappointment by giving their best to everyone? I think it's because some people assume that everyone is going to appreciate a person's best, which is usually true, but not always. The inspiration for this blog message comes from reading several Facebook comments from singles who've written off relationships because they've been hurt repeatedly. Going further, Matthew 7:6 is a GREAT reference for those looking for a romantic relationship because the verse teaches them to use discernment before they agree to yoke with this person. I believe if people used Matthew 7:6 as a guide before giving their best, we would see less hurting people.
