On Friends

 Fight for your friends.

And whenever possible

Fight with them.


When I say "fight with friends", I don't mean join them to needlessly and baselessly fight other people...

I, as a rule, don't inherit enemies. So the fact that you dislike someone doesn't mean I must dislike the person just because you & I are friends..

There are other things beside human interaction drama.

You can fight with your friends against sicknesses, grief, failed attempts, business troubles and so much more...

There's another part of "fighting with your friends" that is usually overlooked and rarely talked about.

Tell your friends the Truth!

And if a fight breaks out because of it, so be it. Don't agree with them to their doom..

Bring their biases to the fore and force them to do better...

Obviously, how you go about it is important... But do it.

To that end, I have experienced a lot...

People have left me, hurt me, slandered my character, defamed my good name, set out to intentionally destroy me and all whatnot..

But my commitment to truth is unwavering.. 

In the end, everything will fade away, but the Truth will stand.

Be forthright with your friends..


Stay Jiggy✌️

A situation can arise that even your friends and family (both nuclear and extended) will desert you... Everyone will think the absolute worst about you....even yourself.. God is the only One who will refuse to give up on you.. He will extend His Hands and embrace you...and He will help you.. As long as you are joined to the living, He will keep trying to help you...

They could let go of anything and everything else except God.. Because really, anything and everything and anyone and everyone else has a melting point where they just have to let you go....except God..  God will never let you go.. He will stick with you until your dying breath....   And if you trust Him with your life...when you open your eyes on the other side of eternity.. He will be there with you still... I know nothing or no one else...

The First Born Principle.

 Pastor Poju said "As first born, you must bear on your back the scars from your siblings and family members" This is so true.. And it isn't limited to just biological first horns.. Every organization, or group, whether group of friends or business partners has a first born...that one person who breaks out first, the trailblazer who shows the others the path... Almost always, they're the proverbial rejected stone..they're the lab rats, experimental guinea pigs, the ones who have a foretaste of what is to come.. Even in families, the biological first born might not be the positional first born.. Sometimes they intertwine and integrate in one person, but sometimes the 3rd born child might be the first born. It's an office one occupies - and one of the criteria is being able to bear the weight of criticism. Usually, there's this force, something unseen, a fire on the inside that forces them to take contrarian paths, that pushes them constantly beyond the boun...
