Giving Pearls To Pigs

Matt 7:6 CEB—Don’t give holy things to dogs, and don’t throw your pearls in front of pigs. They… https://t.co/J08FMz1u5y via @biblegateway

There's two ways I look at this verse: One, is when a believer repeatedly shares Jesus with those who continually ridicule Jesus. Even the Bible says to shake the dust off your feet and keep moving, meaning you have a responsibility to share the Gospel with unbelievers, and if they don't listen, you've done your part. The other way I look at this verse is giving something sacred to unappreciative people. If you give something of precious value to someone who's going to take advantage of that gift, what good is that? To me, it's common sense thinking to share valuable things with people who will appreciate what you're offering. You're more likely to be satisfied with giving if you give to those who value what you're bringing to the table. How people become selfish is they give to everyone and don't use discernment in their giving. They get tired of being burned so they become selfish and either give sporadically, or not at all. Had they used discernment in giving, they would study Matthew 7:6 which says, don't give holy things to dogs or throw pearls in front of pigs.

You can't get mad at the dog or pig for trampling over your pearls because they're animals, that's what they do. I've had to learn this lesson many times before I finally got it, and now that I've got it: It's game over. I'm generous, to a fault. If I think you're not going to appreciate the gift (be it spiritual or physical), then expect 0 from me. You're not supposed to be giving to everyone because not everyone will appreciate the blessing you give them.

Today's Thought

She Won't Let Me Be A Man

A common complaint of men is that women won't LET him be a man. LET? Since when did a man need permission to be a man? This is crazy.

Role Reversal

I couldn't have said it any better than this. It's another reason why I have no intention of bringing children into a pathetic world. I can raise my son(s) to be men, but once they get old enough to be on their own, it's on them to live out what I've taught.

It's pretty sad to see the reversal of gender roles in this country. Men acting more feminine and women acting more masculine. Even some mothers unconsciously without really knowing it emasculate their young sons at an early age as well. Smh.

Talk To God

Hanging On To What You're Used To

This was so good, I had to repost. I'm serious about my destiny and miracles, so I don't have time for naysayers. If you're not going to support me as I walk toward my destiny, exit stage left. No hard feelings, but I have to protect what God has for me. Too many people want to take everybody and their mama with them into their season, but God says everyone isn't meant to go to the next level with you. Do you think those people are going to take you with them into their season? Doubtful.
