Together, we form a necessary paradox; not a senseless contradiction.
Don't show a friend your gift, or your bag of money if you still want to maintain your relationship, but if nay, go on, and all you'll see is hate and jealousy, and you'll fight with him in the street like a dog and all you'll feel is regret.
Your heavenly Father creates a place of refuge for you. A safe place to offer you relief. He can comfort you in times of trouble. God prepares a table for you. Not just any meal, but a beautiful banquet.
Some people talk about other peopleβs failures with so much pleasure that you would swear they are talking about their own successes.
Both friend and enemy reside within us. One lives by the rule of compassion, the other by the rule of hard knocks. Though potential influence of either extreme is inevitable, our actions bear witness to the one we embrace.
The populace becomes shattered when laws are created or altered to trample rights and freedoms; hope is lost, and aspirations quelled; the state shall become the enemy and the people have no choice; conflict advances slow on a darkened horizon.
