God does not
play a game of counterattack with the devil. The devil does something bad, God
steps in to bring something good out of it.

I want to share this nugget with you folks. Credit goes to the person mentioned below. Read on.

Biblically speaking, there is no such thing as "being called to be a wife or a husband" just as there is no such thing as "soul mates". For one, as I stated before, if God made just one person for us to find, then a widow's new spouse isn't the "one". Furthermore, the Bible says that if you desire physical intimacy (in the context of marriage) it is better to marry. If you don't desire physical intimacy or marriage, then the word says that it is better to be single.
The Lord releases people into your life based on your desires, and it's just a matter of crossing paths which the Lord orchestrates. However, the Holy Spirit will let you know if a person that you desire shouldn't be in your life especially if you are spiritually mature.
It is our job as believers to seek the Lord concerning any person that we may desire to marry. But to assume that God has made the decision that you will never marry isn't biblical and implies some kind of punishment. That's why the scriptures says that he who finds a wife finds a good thing. God never promised us spouses and neither did He state that He made some people to be single. The Bible says that if you delight yourself in the Lord, He will give you the desires of your heart. In the meantime, keep Jesus as the center of your life, learn what it means to be a husband or wife and ask the Lord for discernment...

Desire According To Your Current Level
If
a man can't workout for an hour without getting winded, he can't desire a fit
woman.
If
a woman can't run 20 minutes on the treadmill without getting gassed, she
shouldn't want a guy who's fit.
Want
within your means.

Work Out Your Faith
No way around it. Your faith won't get stronger unless you work it out.
Faith is like muscles. The more you work them out (God's Word), the bigger and stronger they get.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) April 23, 2017

Being Spoiled Is Not A Good Look
I don't know why some people brag about being spoiled, like it's a good thing. Look around and you'll see entitled adults because their parents gave them everything they wanted. They've never had to work for anything, it was given to them. When entitled adults get into the real world, they get in their feelings because they realize the world doesn't owe them anything. If you want something, go get it. I'm glad I was spoiled with love & support because that's all the spoiling I need. Everything else, I'd rather go get it because once I get it, I can say I worked for it.
Spoiled children become spoiled adults. Parents aren't doing their children any favors by giving their kids everything they want.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) April 25, 2017

Pray When The Going Gets Tough, Because It Will
Believers should be praying in the good times so they can have faith to endure the bad. This is an oldie, but goodie:
Thought For Today: When The going gets tough, you pray. In theory, that's a good mindset to have in marriage, but here's the problem: Most people don't want to take time to pray. They would rather bounce, which to a degree I understand because some things you SHOULD NOT overlook, which is why we have dealbreakers.

Funeral Real Talk For Blacks
People need to keep it 💯at funerals. If you didn't like someone, either say it or keep quiet. All this lying at funerals is nonsense.😒— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) April 20, 2017
Tighten up on this madness black folks:
- Black people need to stop carrying on at funerals. If you have 5 minutes to speak on your deceased loved one, KEEP it at 5 minutes. "I knew so & so from way back when" Cut the crap.

God: Help Me Destroy My Enemies
Why do some Christians pray cute prayers when the enemy is after them? I think it's because believers have been taught they aren't supposed to pray violent prayers. Last time I checked, Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy so knowing that, why wouldn't a believer want to see his enemies destroyed? When the Israelites went to battle, they showed no mercy on their enemies. King Saul was given orders by God to destroy the Amalekites, but he spared Agag and the best cattle. Every time an enemy runs up on me, I pray for God's help in me obliterating the enemy. If I spare him, he could come back to finish the job. Some believers need to stop being scared to pray for the destruction of their enemies. God gives his children permission to pray violent prayers
Christians have God's permission to pray for the destruction of their enemies when their enemies are intent on taking them out.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) April 17, 2017

Raising Another Man's Child(ren)
Like my FB friend said, "Or if the wife's kid's father is deceased". Outside of these situations, it's usually not a good idea for a man to take on another's child(ren) as his own.
The only time a man should step in to raise children that's not his is if the mother is deceased and there's no other family around.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) April 15, 2017

Men Turning Into Women?
I must be the only man who doesn't show any emotion because from what I see in these 2017 dudes, many of them are turning into women right before my eyes.

Mike Pence Honors His Marriage
One time for VP Mike Pence for respecting his marriage, he's got these liberal clowns in their feelings, and I love it. These liberals expect for leaders to be embedded in marital discord. It's like they can't stand to see someone respect their marriage by having their spouse present with them in private meetings. When an influential man meets privately with a woman, he runs the risk of scandal because the woman can say he pushed up on or violated her, then he's in trouble. To avoid that, it's best to have your spouse present so (s)he can't try it. Billy Graham did the same thing; whenever he met privately with a woman, his wife was there. It's high time we have Godly politicians who honor their vows.
Stupid liberals are in their feelings because VP Mike Pence respects his marriage. He doesn't meet with women in private without his wife.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) April 9, 2017

Domestic Violence: No Excuses
I don't care how mad one gets, there's NO EXCUSE for hitting your spouse (that goes for men and women).— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) April 7, 2017
Regardless of whether your spouse lied to you and/or cheated, there's no justifiable reason for putting your hands on them. If your mate cheated, leave. Don't let them explain themselves because you already know they're going to hit you with nonsense about how it's your fault. If (s)he lied to you, that could damage the relationship because you're going to doubt everything (s)he says. I read about couples who have hit each other out of anger and I shake my head because it's a matter of time before it happens again. Personally, if my woman hits me out of anger, I reserve the right to push her wig back. It doesn't mean I'll do it because the way these laws are set up, I have more to lose and I'm not throwing away everything I have going for myself over some woman who throws a tantrum. I don't care if she comes to her senses and apologizes, I'm not having it. Domestic violence wouldn't be an issue if couples adopted a zero tolerance towards it. The first time someone hits their (wo)man, relationship over. Even if they apologize and show remorse, it's a wrap. Verbal abuse almost always escalates to physical abuse. I'll never...never understand how couples can take each other back after domestic violence. Maybe it's not for me to understand, who knows.

Vengeance Belongs To God
When God vindicates, it's accurate and far more deadly than what humans could ever do.

Bandwagon Supporters
It's funny how some people want to ride with you when God is doing big things in your life. As soon as you get blessed, all these "supporters" come out like roaches.
When God is doing something in a believer's life, everyone is NOT supposed to ride with you. Were they interceding with you? No.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) April 5, 2017

War Room: A Godly Woman
This is the mark of a Godly woman. When I watched War Room twice & she said this, I silently rejoiced because she had a heart for her family, but most of all Christ. God brought them closer together even though the enemy tried to destroy their marriage.
