Don’t Be Fooled
I’ve never been one to “go all in” on April Fools’ Day. Is it because I think it’s unspiritual, NO. Laughter, joy, merriment and fun are all positive things in the Bible. I think the Divine gives some people wonderful senses of humor and love being around them. So why don’t I “go all in”? Honestly, I’m simply not creative enough to think of anything that would be interesting enough to fool people. The fun of April Fools’ aside, there are some things that I refused to be hoodwinked or fall for the “okey doke” on. Falling for them can have serious consequences. What are they? 1. Deceptive words from deceptive people (Eph. 5:6) – its been said that the deepest wounds are from those who are closest to us. Their words slide like new socks on a freshly cleaned hardwood floor and they are just as dangerous. 2. Easy money (Prov. 13:11) – here’s the truth of the matter, very few of us have ALL the money we want ALL the time. Who else knows to question when someone says they have a sure thing or they can “hook you up” with another $5 or $10k with very little work? In the words of our ancestors, all that glitters. . . 3. Love without commitment (John 15:13) – I hate to break it to you but cheap and easy love isn’t love, its emotional indigestion. You feel full but after a while, it will pass and leave a stench. Ask the Divine for someone who not only loves your body, but who loves your mind and your spirit woman. For someone who can walk with you into your destiny while being able to catch you if you fall. No fooling around. Blessings, Rev. Antoinette
