I heard someone say, satan got adam and eve to fix their eyes on one tree when god had already given them an entire garden, think about that. The enemy didn't have to convince them that they had nothing. He just had to make them forget everything that they already had. And he still, till this day, uses the same strategy. He gets us to focus on relationships we don't have, the job that we don't have, the opportunity we don't have, the healing we haven't seen yet. Meanwhile, we are blind to the countless prayers god has already answered. Gratitude isn't pretending you don't want more, it's refusing to let what you don't have make you forget the goodness of god that's already surrounding you.
Your family is full of grown adults who got the same opportunity to make a living for themselves like you did. It’s not your responsibility to hand out money because you’re related. Draw boundaries.
Remember yall was like. “I’m not voting. I don’t like neither candidate. It’s not like it’s going to make a difference anyway!”
Now look at you. Can’t afford food, gas, or plane tickets.
Good Friday reminds us of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. May this day further deepen the values of harmony, compassion and forgiveness. May brotherhood and hope guide us all.
