Living life in a pride way has left many in a bad situation. Others are also finding things difficult in life because how they do not value others, forgetting that there is a saying that together we stand, divided we fall. Almost 90 percent of people suffering in life depends on how they boast about their life. Beloved, are we living to impress humanity or Our maker?

As the coming of Christ is at hand, and he is going to judge everyone according to his or her deeds on earth, why should we live to impress humanity?
Beloved, let us rise as the scriptures say, arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the lord has risen upon you. Darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the people, but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. Nation shall come to our light, and kings to the brightness of our rising.

Beloved, do not boast about tomorrow, for we do not know what a day may bring. Let another praise us, and not our mouths, a stranger not our lips.
A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool's provocation is heavier than both.
Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming but who can stand before jealousy?

Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. He who is sated loathes honey, but to one who is hungry, everything bitter is sweet.
Like a bird that strays from its nest, is a man who strays from his home. Oil and perfume make the heart glad, but the soul is torn by trouble.

Your friend, and your father's friend, do not forsake and do not go to your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away. Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him who reproaches me. A prudent man sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on, and suffer for it.

Take a man garment when he has given surety for a stranger, and hold him in pledge when he gives surety for foreigners. He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing. A continual dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike, to restrain her is to restrain the wind or to grasp oil in one's right hand.

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who guards his master will be honored. As in water face answers to face, so the mind of man reflects the man. Sheol and abandon are never satisfied, and never satisfied are the eyes of man. The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and a man is judged by his praise.

Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his folly will not depart from him. Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds, for riches do not last forever, and does a crown endure to all generations?

Beloved, please let us do well to swallow our pride in others to be set free in life. May the good lord help us and teach us the way to inherit his promised land. Thanks for being with us.
