Good day friends. The long awaited day is here. Spend it wisely.
A story was told of a teacher who placed a glass cup and a plastic cup side-by-side on the floor. He then called a student to pick up the plastic cup. The student bent down and picked up the cup. The cup fell off the teacher's hands and the student picked it up again. The teacher intentionally dropped it again and the cup was still its own self without any breakage. It was still durable as if it never fell. The cup was then placed somewhere else and the student was asked to pick up the glass cup. The student picked it up and it fell. Immediately, the glass shattered. The teacher asked the student to pick up the pieces. The student withdrew not knowing what the teacher was trying to say.
The teacher told the whole class that the plastic cup represents the life of a male. When men fall, they rise up without any sign that they have ever fallen. Their life is so strong and firm. He continued and said that the glass cup represents the life of the female. Like the glass cup, every female is fragile. Any little mistake they make and they fall, they would never be the same again. This is the reason why every female has to be careful with her life. Don't misuse your life as a lady because if you do, you may not be able to gather it again.
Don't allow anyone to tempt you. Eve was in the garden of Eden when Satan tempted her to take the fruit. God's earlier instruction to them was that they should not eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil. She began to dialogue with Satan to look, touch and taste it. Satan told her to look and she saw that the fruit was good to the eyes. She ate it and her eyes were opened. That marked the beginning of the trouble and unrest for human. She in return also tempted Adam and he fell too. Their eyes were opened and they lost relationship with their creator.
Samson was a young handsome man. He had supernatural strength. Delilah wanted to know his source of power at all cost. She asked him many times without resting. It was a temptation. Samson eventually revealed his secret. As this secret was leaked, he lost his strength and power and was arrested by his enemies. He died an untimely death.
No matter the pressure, persecution from anyone, don't allow them to make you sin against God. You are not yet married and your parents have started pressurizing you to introduce a man to them. They might even tell you there is the son of a family friend they want you to marry. You are fragile. Don't allow them to push you into problem.
You have been married for years without a child. You have decided to wait for God's time. Your in-laws are not taking it easy with you. Your relatives are giving different wrong advice to you to try another man and give the pregnancy to your husband. Don't yeild to the temptation. Remember, anything you do on your own without God's Will will be a temptation. You are fragile. Don't allow anyone make you fall. Don't allow the trend of things to make you fall. Don't say everyone is doing it. Don't follow the multitudes to do evil. It's risky.
Indeed, woman are fragile that needs more protection and care.
