I was taught early on to never say "maybe" when you mean "no". It is unfair to the person you are speaking to to give them #hope and ultimately only complicated your life further. Do the hard thing and free both people from further expectations. Say "no" and move forward. . . . #demandbetter #levelup #improveyourhustle #reason #relationships #integrity #remaxhustle #remaxcapital #dontsettle #bemore #honesty #thehardthing #realtalk💯 #badassunicorn🦄 (at REMAX Capital Realty) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2WOM27pCzm/?igshid=sixkjivp3y6h

The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. - Mathew 23:11 ___________________________ As fallible human beings, we have so much to be humble about. Why, then, is humility such a difficult trait for us to master? Precisely because we are fallible human beings. Yet if we are to grow and mature as Christians, we must strive to give credit where credit is due, starting, of course, with God and His only begotten Son. ___________________________ @dangerousbutgood - scoop a short and save some coin with code “RECOM10” link in bio. @notchgear @burnproofgear @clouddefensive ___________________________ Pray it up Saints: Heavenly Father, JESUS clothed Himself with humility when He chose to leave heaven and come to earth to live and die for us, His children. Christ is my master and my example. Clothe me with humility, Lord, so that I might be more like your Son, and keep me mindful that You are the giver and sustainer of life, and to You, Dear Lord, goes all the glory and praise. Amen and amen. ___________________________ #thehardthings #triggerheads #2a #christian #lifestyle #gear #photographer #rutseneagle #gunlifemedia #dangerousbutgood (at OnE DaY At a TimE) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQYfJj9rzWW/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is so good. #Repost @desiringgod ・・・ "'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' (2 Corinthians 12:9)⠀ ⠀ This is God’s universal purpose for all Christian suffering: more contentment in God and less reliance on self and the world. I have never heard anyone say, 'The really deep lessons of life have come through times of ease and comfort.'⠀ ⠀ But I have heard strong saints say, 'Every significant advance I have ever made in grasping the depths of God’s love and growing deep with him has come through suffering.'⠀ ⠀ The pearl of greatest price is the glory of Christ.⠀ ⠀ Thus, Paul stresses that in our sufferings the glory of Christ’s all-sufficient grace is magnified. If we rely on him in our calamity, and he sustains our 'rejoicing in hope,' then he is shown to be the all-satisfying God of grace and strength that he is.⠀ ⠀ If we hold fast to him, 'when all around our soul gives way,' then we show that he is more to be desired than all we have lost.⠀ ⠀ Christ said to the suffering apostle, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Paul responded to this: 'Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong' (2 Corinthians 12:9–10).⠀ ⠀ So suffering clearly is designed by God not only as a way to wean Christians off of self and onto grace, but also as a way to spotlight that grace and make it shine. That is precisely what faith does: it magnifies Christ’s future grace.⠀ ⠀ The deep things of life in God are discovered and magnified in suffering."⠀ ⠀ Read more at desiringGod.org.
