Insist on Sincerity

Good evening my dear friends! Gosh it's hard to beilieve I am finally connecting with you after such a long time. See, I landed up in the hospital with breathing problems. It's a little scary, but hopefully the good Lord is staying on top of it. That's what we worship Him for, eh?

So this evening I want to talk about sincere friends, and I want to begin by sharing a not so well known Bible passage about two sons.

“What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’ “‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. “Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go. “Which of the two did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. -Matthew 21:28-32 First impressions, huh? People can make a glowing first impression, and make you think they're God's gift. But you know something? They just don't have it in their heart. They probably wish intensely that they were the person they are pretending to be, but it's not there. And so, an important thing about forming healthy friendships is: Be realistic. How much can you really give to your friend(s)? How much can you really hope to receive from our friend(s)? And BE the person you are. Avoid getting yourself lost in a lot of meaningless drama. After practicing this a few days, I think real enjoyment and fun will come back into your life. ♬  The 4 Non Blondes: What's Up
