Thought For Today: Nothing's Free

There's no such thing as getting something FREE. If you're not paying with money, you're paying with time, energy and attention.

Thought For Today: Messy Boots

Any job that is majority black is bound to be a messy place because some blacks love to stir up mess wherever they go. SMH.

No Counterattack With God

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.

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.

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.
