This afternoon I received a telephone call from a pastor's grown daughter. She was weeping telling me about someone that had done her dad and mom so wrong. Strange as it may seem someone had just left my house telling me how false someone was and for me to open my eyes...
I told the girl that called that Jesus too had to deal with things like this and we are no better than Jesus.
My son asked me about another case tonight and said, mother how can you be so nice to people that stab you in the back...
I have lived long enough to find out that those who dig a hole for someone else wind up falling in their own hole...So I seldom lose my cool. Just live long enough and you will find out that those who run from house to house trying to please everyone wind up running in circles and never getting much done...
Those who try to play both sides and do not stand up for right end up holding the short end of the stick.
Our life and standing up for right is very important...Evil communication corrupt good manners the book says...
A false person is a decietful person and will never have the blessings of the Lord.
