A N G E R, the death of Reason

A carpenter went home after shutting down his workshop. Unknowingly, a black poisonous cobra entered his workshop before the lock up.

The cobra was hungry and hoped to find its supper lurking somewhere within. It slithered from one end to another and accidentally bumped into a double-edged metal axe and got slightly injured.

In anger and seeking revenge, the snake bit the axe with full force. What could a bite do to a metallic axe? The cobra began to bleed in her mouth.

Out of fury and arrogance, the cobra tried its best to strangle and kill the object that was causing it pain by wrapping itself very tight around the blades.

The next day, when the carpenter opened the workshop, he found a seriously injured, dead cobra wrapped around the axe blades.

The cobra died not because of someone's doing but faced these consequences merely because of its anger and wrath. Sometimes when angry, we try to cause harm to others but as time passes by, we realize that we have caused more harm to ourselves.

For a happy life, it’s best we learn to ignore and overlook certain things, people, incidents, affairs and matters. It is not necessary to react to everything. Step back and ask yourself if the matter is really worth responding or reacting to.

Let us Treat people with kindness even if they hurt you.

People that show no inclination to change, are best handled with silence and prayer.

THIS is really a touching story and could help us take some good decisions.

Dear GOD,

If I hurt someone,

grant me the humility

and courage to ask for forgiveness.

CHECK YOUR ANGER.

Love as Strong as Death - Karabo Moloisi

Song of Solomon 8:6 says 'Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame' Think about this for a moment... You know, when its time for a person to die, there is nothing that person can do to escape it. There is no opinion that death asks from him or her. No negotiations at all. Death has no respect for anyone's dignity or whatever status or position a person holds. Now, the bible says "... Love is as Strong as Death ..." Same non-negotiable force death comes with. That's how strong this 'Love' is. Once He gets a hold of you, He won't let go. The Unconditional Never Ending Love of God #The_Unconditional_Never_Ending_Love_of_God Also read; Deuteronomy 4:24 24 For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. Isaiah 49:16 16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are...

3 Things Jesus Tells Us about Worry by Mark Altrogge

Jesus had a lot to say about worry. He came into an unstable and unpredictable world. He lived in an agricultural society where one summer’s drought could wipe out crops for the winter. He hung out with fishermen, who might fish all night long and catch nothing to sell or bring home to family. And Jesus knew the human heart and the temptations presented by the cares of this life. So he gave his disciples some excellent instruction on worry in Matthew 6. “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? (25) First, Jesus says God gave us our human life and our bodies without us even asking. Human life and our physical bodies are incredibly valuable. Our life is much more valuable than the food we put on the table; our body far more valuable than the shirt we put on. If God gave us life, which is so very valuable, will he not g...
