He worked in a construction company. Things were going pretty well for him until he decided to bring in a woman to cook for him and probably warm his bed.
It was only a matter of time when the woman started pressing him to marry her. She wanted something more permanent probably because she felt he was using her. She insisted that if she was playing wife in his house, he might as well put a ring on it. But he adamantly let her know that he had no intention whatsoever to settle down with her. Even his father refused that he should be married to her, a woman who was once married and her husband died.
So one day, he returned home as usual to find that his house was literally burglarized and his woman gone. She made away with nearly all his house hold properties.
From then on, things turned for the worse. He began having issues with his firm, so when his contract with them expired, he got disengaged. He sold his car to make ends meet. For years he struggled, seeking help from friends as he tried to get back on his feet.
He relocated to another state to find greener pastures but to no avail. Whatever he touched withered.
His situation made him conclude that the woman was diabolical, that she could be the source of his misfortunes. What did he do?! Is there any hope for his recovery?
Like this young man, our decisions can cost us our life time. Though there is a possibility that the ‘used woman’ was diabolical, still it could be that this young man is merely reaping what he had sown. Most times we are the very inventors of our own problems. In making our choices in life, caution should be applied because these choices can make or mar our future. Something built over years can be destroyed in a second just because of a wrong decision. Though we may have made mistakes in the past, God is very able to restore everything we may have lost when we turn to Him. He gives beauty for ashes.
Always choose righteousness.
