If two people start a company and one contributes 90% of the capital while the other contributes just 10%, when the business starts struggling, who do you think is more likely to walk away first? Exactly, Now apply that same principle to your relationships
Don't give up. Try everything. Exhaust every option. Knock on every door. Ask and ask again. Keep going even when you're tired. Be pertinacious with your efforts, your thoughts, your prayers, your kindness, your love, your work. You are incredibly capable.
Mark Manson on how to win at life:
1. Commit to doing a hard thing.
2. Do the hard thing.
3. Feel good about doing the hard thing.
4. Become someone who enjoys doing hard things.
You have every reason to be suspicious of those who aren't loud about their faith.
Especially when they are loud about everything else.
It isn't often just a case of being a silent follower of Jesus; it may actually be a case of being comfortable with lukewarmness.
Lukewarmness that gradually leads to decay and ultimately results in full-blown backsliding.
If people flaunt everything else aside from the allegiance and loyalty to Jesus, you can be sure they don't really rate Him so highly.
Believers, we must guard our hearts against these modern idols:
• The desire for constant comfort
• The pursuit of worldly wealth
• The obsession with human approval
Only Jesus can satisfy your soul.
