Tough Past=Strength

That's because easy pasts don't exist. Every strong person has gone through something that gave them that strength. https://t.co/YbeXghB8ny

Cheating Practice

There's no way you can invest quality time in each person while dating multiple people.

Dating multiple people while single is rehearsal for cheating while married.

What's On My Mind?

From time to time, there's a meme that's posted in some of my groups asking if folks would marry the person God showed them, but that mate would cheat on them during the marriage. Some said yes, but most said no. I co-sign the no crowd because God would never choose someone to be your spouse and they cheat on you; that's stupid. Personally, I wouldn't overlook infidelity in a marriage because if I've never stepped out on my lady, she had no reason to violate our sacred bond. ...I would forgive, but she would have to pay for her crime via divorce. I would expect to be held accountable in the same manner. Unconditional love shouldn't apply in cases of infidelity, and for couples to let that ride, I can't respect that. To each their own, but it couldn't be me as far as taking a cheating mate back because in the back of my mind, I'll always think she's up to no good.

Norm J Blunt: Some brothas will pass up a DIAMOND just to pick up a PEBBLE smh.............................................

Sistahs do it too............................

Then have the NERVE to complain about the choice they've made lol...."

Sounds about right. If a diamond comes your way, and you'd rather choose a pebble, you take whatever comes with that pebble.

Choose Me

Everyone wants to be chosen, but they don't want the drama that comes with it. When you're chosen, you have a target on your back.

Being chosen isn't all it's cracked up to be. Luke 12:48 (MSG) reads, "Great gifts mean great responsibility." In other words, much is required from whom much is given. Do people really understand what it means to be chosen? I don't think some people do because if they did, they wouldn't be so eager to want to be chosen. Then again, some people know what comes with being chosen and can handle it, so I salute those people. When you're chosen, all eyes are on you; You're subject to greater scrutiny and unless you have solid skin, you may fold under the pressure. In many cases, you're chosen just because some people want to see you fail. Before some people are so quick to want to be chosen, they should do their due diligence to see if they're ready to be chosen.

When God Talks | Tony Evans (Sermon)

I listened to this sermon last night, and my prayer is to listen for God's voice consistently. He speaks in a still, small voice so I have to be extra sensitive to his voice.
