Who are your household enemies?

Someone who depends on you for food and shelter, yet goes around creating negative impressions in the mind of people about you!

Someone you helped and rescued in time of need, whether lack, health or loss and rather than be thankful, tells others that "what have you done that someone else hasn't done"

Those are household enemies!

I heard about the story of a girl and her friends and I feel like sharing it

This is the story of a university student who lives with her two friends (or should I say who houses her two friends), according to the story, she's the one who rented the house and then allowed her friends to stay there with her because they don't have anywhere else to stay. At some point, the friends started murmuring that they don't like the fact it is only the girl that brings money home and also carries all the household expenses, they said they also want to make money like her and that she should show them the way.

She later started taking her friends out with her and started teaching them how to do the kind of business she does and how to make money from it (don't know the kind of business though). They soon started making money on their own and the three friends were doing so great together but the two friends never stopped getting jealous of their friend because even after she has shown then the way, they still feel she's doing much more better than them and that was cracking them up.

These two friends were always saying it to her face that she didn't show them the way deeply and that's the reason she's doing better than them but anytime they say that, she just laughs it out and tells them that there's nothing more to show them, she was so lenient. The two friends later device means to take out of the picture so they can take her position in the business in which they succeeded. They mixed poison with her meal and she ate it and then she died. The police later found out that it was those friends that killed her and they were also sentenced.

My point out of this story is that;

Her friends were already showing it to her right from the very start that they would never be contented with the way they've always been complaining. One thing about jealousy and discontentment is that it can kill, one should never turn a blind eye to it, she should have looked for a way to set boundaries between her and those friends of hers but she was too lenient thinking that everyone has a free spirit as her. Beware of household enemies, they are killers and destroyers!

What must you do if you have been dealt such hand?

Forgive, knowing that ingratitude and forgetfulness is of men, but love is of God and you are born of God...

Keep no offense at heart, release the hurt, bless them, pray for them...

What must you not do?

Accepting them into your privacy again without proving that they've outgrown such attitudes.

Thank you so much for reading up to this point, I will see you in my next post and in yours by God's grace. I love you compulsorily 😍
