NOT at the EXPENSE OF YOUR DIGNITY!

"WHO HAS WOE? WHO HAS RED EYES?"

29 WHO HAS #WOE? Who has #sorrow?
Who has #strife? #Who has #complaints?
Who has needless #bruises? WHO HAS #BLOODSHOT (#RED) EYES?
30 Those who linger over #wine,
who go to #sample bowls of mixed wine.
31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
when it #sparkles in the cup,
when it goes down smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a #snake
and #poisons like a #viper.
33 Your #eyes will see strange sights,
and your mind will imagine #confusing things.
34 You will be like one #sleeping on the high #seas,
lying on top of the rigging.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not #hurt!
They #beat me, but I don’t feel it!
When will I wake up
so I can find another #drink?” (#Proverbs 23)

(O LORD! Please, help us to be #wise.)

You hate all men because of one man?

"If you hate all men because of one man, one day, you’re going to hate all women because of one woman, later on, you might hate all children because a child peed on you; perhaps an evil day will come when you will hate everything BECAUSE ONE THING GOT YOU ANGRY and if you have the power, you will destroy everybody and everything; that is, if you are able to overcome the urge to commit suicide. Is that what you want?"

Benita says, "I hate men!"

From Benita:

“My #fiancé #broke up with me for his ‘#ex’. I met him a few #years after both of them had a #misunderstanding and according to his #story, (which I #believed) the #reason they had to go their #separate ways was because it was really #difficult to get along with each other after the #disagreement between them. He #promised me that that was the end of it and I believed him again because he did almost everything to #prove to me that he was in #love with me. #Unfortunately for me after about 5 years of our smooth #relationship, he came to my #house one day to tell me that his 'Ex' came begging him and he had decided to take her back! I was #puzzled! At first, I thought it was a #joke but… that was how he broke up with me. Though I really love him and I gave it my all but I can’t help regretting it all now. Right now, I’m feeling he only #used me and #dumped me. But why? Did I make a #mistake loving him? Why are #men so #wicked? Well, I’ve learnt my lesson. I will never be a #fool again, NEVER! I #hate men."

How would you respond to this, friends?

Is GRACE a replacement for DISCIPLINE?

What we #need sometimes is not GRACE but DISCIPLINE. When you #refuse to #act, just sit there, asking for #grace when all we need is to #apply #discipline. Can you #imagine #Joseph lying in the #bosom of #Portiphar’s #wife or carrying her on his #laps, #romancing and #praying, “O #God, please #help me…”? Tell me if God will also do for #man what he has given him (or her) the #power to do for himself. Will He? Huh?

Everybody is important

#Everybody you #come #across in #life has a #role to #play in your life; and #vice #versa.

If You're Single (though you ought to be #married), God Has Not Forgotten You

Do you say to yourself,

“I'm #single and God has #forgotten me, He has not given me a #spouse yet!” If that is you, may it not be so, for #God #numbers the very #hairs on your #head, He has not forgotten you.

 

 What? How can God #forget the #work of His #hands? The very one He #proudly made in HIS #OWN #IMAGE? It's #impossible!
