God gave people 2 ears and 1 mouth because He wants us to listen twice as much as we talk.

We want to stay on the straight and narrow path and serve God, yet we continue a practice that often pulls us in the wrong direction.

But remember, continuing a wrong relationship only increases the pain when it finally does end.

We express true love in obedience to God and service to others- not reckless or selfish behavior- and we choose these behaviors.

Every relationship for a Christian is an opportunity to love another person like God has loved us. To lay down our desires and do what's in his or her best interest. To care for him or her even when there's nothing in it for us. To want that person's purity and holiness because it pleases God and protects him or her.

God will make right all that is wrong, He will take away the lingering effect of sin and what's not right in our lives. He knows how painful life in this world can be.

I won't stick around to see how much temptation I can take. God is not impressed with my ability to stand up to sin. He is more impressed by the obedience I show when I run from it.
