Why You Shouldn’t Make Permanent Decisions Based on Temporary Situation
Choices have consequences…

You’re strolling through the garden of life and spot a shiny apple — no, not the forbidden kind, just a regular, tempting apple. It’s so shiny, so appealing, but you are dying to taste it…but guess what? It’s just a temporary situation. Peel back the skin, and you might find it’s all mushy and rotten inside. Now, apply that to life decisions, especially the big M-word — marriage.
Brother Bob decides to take a leap of faith and tie the knot because Sister Sue has a wallet thicker than the church hymnals. Oh, Brother Bob, what if that wallet shrinks faster than your patience during a toddler tantrum?
Money is like that fast-food drive-thru — quick, easy, and can leave you feeling empty afterwards. Now, Sister Sue might be missing the “integrity, faithfulness, trustworthiness, and godliness” combo meal from her relationship menu.
And lo and behold dear brethren, we’ve all witnessed a case of “looks are deceiving.” Sister Sarah may have the hair of an angel and a jawline that could cut glass, but remember, looks fade faster than you can say, “Where did my hairline go?”
It’s like judging a book by its cover, only to find out it’s more fiction than a bedtime story.
Now, let’s sprinkle some holy humour on this wisdom cake. Imagine a congregation where everyone picked their pew based on the fluffiness of the cushions. Oh, the chaos! But seriously, relationships built on superficial foundations often crumble faster than stale communion bread.
Dear brethren, when you’re at the crossroads of life decisions, especially the big ones like marriage, look beyond the shiny apples. Seek the everlasting fruits of the spirit — integrity, trustworthiness, faithfulness and godliness. They’re the real deal.
Don’t let temporary situations steer your ship. Sail towards the shores of everlasting virtues, and your life story will be filled with joyous chuckles and a happily ever after. Amen to that!
