This quote – though plain and simple - could not have been said better! Protect your mind from unhealthy external influences! Don't allow access to just anyone to speak to your spirit. Bad associations spoil useful habits and infiltrate unwholesome thoughts into your head. Stop letting others put their dirty trash into your cognitive processes. Controlling entry is pivotal. If an unhealthy entry is permitted, an exit is imminent. Stay on guard for what flows through your spirit. It is an “inside, out” flow, however what gets in may be hard to get out! Your words, behaviors, and actions imitate/reflect what you think! Keep on your suit of armor to protect yourself from what can ultimately destroy the goodness that you have worked years to cultivate. Stay on guard! Photo reprint: www.pininterest.com

Allow me to introduce you to a group of folks defined as “lukewarm” people. You know and see them as frequently as I. Those are the ones who do just enough to get by which makes it even more complicated. Their luke warmness protects them which makes their behaviors harder to gauge. They play games so that you cannot ascertain whether they are hot or cold.
They are bare minimum and serial piecemeal specialists. Though it may be scarce, they minimally come through in a clutch.
“A little here; a little there” is their motto. Go figure! They will truly never be inconvenienced for anyone other than themselves.
Why are you so disappointed? Is it because you do more for them than they do for you? Or do you think that they could/should do more? Are you focusing too much energy and time on them?
Stop worrying about them.
Just don’t be like them! At the end of the day, whether hot, cold, or lukewarm, they will be judged on their deeds just as you!

I have heard many people say, “I don’t need nobody! I can do everything for myself. I was born alone and will die alone!” Although we enter and exit this world all alone, the in between time doesn’t necessarily fit that description. To those who think that they need no one, think again! When and if the waters of life eventually invade your presence and you are in a boat alone without paddles, how will you get to dry land? Assistance, security, relief from loneliness, love, friendship, companionship….are some of the benefits of having others in our lives. The need for people doesn’t signify weakness; to the contrary, it demonstrates strength! There is strength in numbers! We all need someone in our lives – to talk to, to love, to be with, to hold….to be a part of our existence. I certainly do! You do too! Never forget that islands were once connected to a continent. May I remind you that our creator in his infinite wisdom concluded that “it was not good for man to be all alone!” Who knew better than The Father?
