That's So Handy

I sing about faith on Sunday. I write statuses about how we can make it, just pray, wait on the Lord, let God handle it, don't quit.....and such. But the truth is I hate pressure. I want the easy way out. I don't want to take it anymore. I've given in to bad habits to momentarily relieve pressure.I want to avoid pain, ridicule, and discomfort, even if it means displeasing God. I don't feel like being disciplined. It hurts when my desires are screaming. I'd rather give in. How dare I? Daniel and the three Hebrew boys knew who they were and who they served.

If you're single, be single. not just in your status, but in your heart as well. you're worth more than being someone's sometime person. wait!
