As
I was studying my bible one day, this quote from the greatest Apostle who ever
lived jumped out of the page of the scripture (It’s good to study the holy
book, if you don’t you are missing a lot). It says, “Everything is lawful, but
not everything is beneficial. Everything is lawful, but not everything builds
others up”. But I will say….”but not everything builds you up”.
Getting
drunk with alcohol maybe lawful but is not beneficial to your health --- could
lead to diabetes, liver/kidney disease. Having many girlfriends or boyfriends
maybe lawful but is not beneficial to your mental state (lack of focus,
unwanted pregnancy), financial state (spending like a prodigal son to impress
others), health (HIV/AIDS, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, complications or death as a
result of abortion). Telling lies can be lawful but is not beneficial to your
integrity. This can tarnish your image among people. Getting a divorce maybe
lawful but is not beneficial to your mental state (depression, sorrow, regret,
bitterness, hatred), children and health .
Smoking
maybe lawful but is not beneficial to your health (damaged lung), mental state
(thinking irrationally). Watching movies or chatting from morning till evening
maybe lawful but is not beneficial to your destiny. Wearing sexy dresses that
reveal your breasts and other private parts of your body maybe lawful and
fashionable but is not beneficial to your dignity as a virtuous woman. The list
is endless. Think of whatever you are doing that’s lawful but is not beneficial
and stop doing it. That thing maybe popular but could be dangerous to your life
and destiny. So before doing anything, ask yourself a question “Is it
beneficial? Will it add value to me and others?”
