Today's Thought: Everyone Wants To Be In Your Highlight Reel

What makes people think they’re entitled to your blessing? They weren’t struggling with you, they didn’t pray for your success, they weren’t determined for a better way & they didn’t want to put the work in. Try Again.

You Know What's Funny?

One minute they're talking mess about each other, next minute they're kekeing with tea. Fakery like this is why I don't have many friends, if any because I refuse to deal with phoniness.

Black People's Love For The Struggle

Some black people are too much in love with the struggle. It's ok to NOT want to struggle every time.

Open Doors

There's a huge difference between God & the devil opening doors.

Question Of The Day

Friday Wisdom

This was too good NOT to repost.

Thought For Today: A Concerned Woman

I appreciate a concerned woman just like every man does, but some women should understand one thing: If she asks her man what's on his mind and he doesn't tell her, it means 2 things: 1. He doesn't want her to know, and 2. He could be going through something major and doesn't want to burden her. Men are solvers by nature, and sometimes men aren't going to tell their woman what's wrong because he's focused on fixing the problem.

Friends Vs. Frenemies

I have no use for frenemies. Today, you can't tell the difference between friends & frenemies because frenemies are very good at disguising themselves as friends.

FYI

Someone may be a good (wo)man and Godly, but it doesn’t make them right for you.

Competition: Good, Bad, and Ugly

Competition can be good & bad. Competition is bad when you’re stepping on others to win, it’s good when both parties are playing by the rules to win.

Facts

The Fall: God's Plan?

Was The Fall God's Plan? That's a question I often think about. I have a possible answer:

God was going to create humans and he knew he HAD to test us the very same way. That is why he let Satan seduce Eve in the garden. Lots of people continually try to make God the enemy and accuse him of purposefully putting human beings in a no-win situation to sin, not really. You need to understand Eve was a person like you and I; She FREELY chose to listen to the snake EVEN THOUGH she had the knowledge of what God told her. She FREELY chose to take a bite of the golden apple. Nobody made her or forced her, she CHOSE that, and Adam chose to do the same. Thus, sin was created in the world. That was the test, that was the their choice, and the result was sin so the test has been on-going. He has to know who is there for him and worthy of him. Who is worthy of the kingdom of Heaven?? Surely not a wicked human being. That is why he sent his son to die on the cross so that he could make atonement to God for our sins so we could see Heaven. The test after the flood was simply accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior and trying to live out a life pleasing to God and bringing others to the knowledge and trying to save them. Those who do not pass the test are the ones who fall away from the faith, follow other Gods, fall into sin and never repent, and etc. They end up in Hell where Satan and the fallen angels went when they turned against God. Their hearts were not for God or close to God, and that's the test of every human being on this planet.

Men Vs. Women

This still rings true.

Selective Story Telling

Very few are honest enough to tell how they hurt others.

Most people tell the story about how others hurt them & they overcame, few tell the story how they hurt others in life.
