●▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor; only
fools insist on quarreling. (Proverbs 20:3).
●▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●



A person who is truly confident of his or her strength does not need to parade it. A truly brave person does not look for chances to prove it. A resourceful woman can find a way out of a fight. A man of endurance will avoid retaliating. Foolish people find it impossible to avoid strife. Men and women of character can. What kind of person are you?

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:

“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

I assure you I agree with the thread, however put your armour on cause there will be coming "the apologetics, defend the faith, expose the wolves and false doctrine, take no prisoners, show no mercy or compassion" brigade come a knocking calling it "doing Gods work"
All the best, your a blessing.
