Out of all the numerous reasons why people stay in abusive relationships and drown in sin and addiction, one that stands out is “NEED”.
and before you disagree this “need” can comes in different ways, it could be need for something material or emotional but deep down when you scrape the surface it always lies in need whether obvious or subtle. most times that need can even be good.
I love the way the dictionary on my laptop puts it : ““the loss of other alternatives when one alternative is chosen.”“, I’m no economics expert but its quite a simple concept i learned a few years back in secondary(high) school, when you pick an option or pay for something, the other options you didn’t choose/pay for is the opportunity cost to what you picked/payed for.
`Heb 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us. (NLT)` Many at times we come across a message , song or even the verse above and we think “yes i have to cut off A B C from...
“I am ready to go to prison with you, and even to die with you”. What sweet and heart warming words. Whoever made this statement can’t do any wrong or should i say “isn’t expected” to do any wrong.

Isn’t this just insane, how foolish could this people be? i mean they stood face to face,flesh to flesh with one of the greatest to walk on this earth and the only thing their mind could muster up was hatred and disdain. I hope you share this view from the account of Mat 13:57(NLT):”And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own house...

Yes it is, the way folks we care about and love treat us like we have no hearts or emotion, especially when no action from your part portrays you as weak and easy to ride on. “These folks” can be our family, friends and even relationship partners, they pierce daggers right in front of our hearts like we are expected to be numb to it,they step on our feet like we don’t deserve to...
Trust me this is a very interesting true life story, so there was this guy that was in love with his sister, deep in his heart and never told anyone, it worried him badly, because in his heart he knew nothing could happen between them because obviously they were siblings, so he basically kept his pain to himself allday Everyday.
Ever had a friend that wears glasses? You know those really thick big lens?, if you have a friend that wears one most likely you have tried putting it on at least once, remember how your perfect sight immediately turned really blur, probably smaller or even farther? And then you realized “oops this is not for me” , “time to take this off ” and you took it off immediately.
