Keep It Straight
If you draw a line between point A and point B, then the shortest distance between the two points, A and B is a straight line. There is no sense beating around the bush and going off on a tangent any old how and where. To get straight to the point you need to make it a straight line, orally or literally, clear and consise, there is no sense in crooked diversification. Imagine that the point you are trying to get across to people is how to build a house. First you must draw up the plans, then have them looked at by a builder and then the builder employs a plumber, concreter, bricklayer, carpenter, electrician, and tiler. Each has to do their indivdual jobs properly and correctly. The bricks have to be laid straight and the the rooms perfectly square, even if they are rectangle, 90 degree corners are always essential. Then we have a house ready for someone to move into. These steps are not a waste of time, because at the end result, we have a brand new house, so it is with writing and talking we have to be sure of our facts and explain things how they really are and why we are doing those certain things. Keep it straight in your married lives as well, there is no sense in cheating and being left with a divorce case, tell each other the facts just as they are and as exactly as you can. Help each other to grow in the day to day relationship between you as each other learns and helps the other partner to develope and improve in their daily lives. Keep it straight tell is as it is, it does not have to be painful or hurtful, even though the truth often is. Be kind and diplomatic in your speech and show tact and an educated learning in what you are trying to say. God knows what you are going to say even before you say it and so take some time before you start sprouting off all your knowledge in any shape and form and think about what you are going to say to be nice and kind in how you do it. Having a mean streak is in your blood is only going to upset someone else and turn them away from you. keep it straight but know how to go about it. Look to God for direction and guidance and ask Him to help you explain things to other people, how He wants those particular things to be known. Playing with a full deck of cards is also important as you don't want to rip somebody else off or short change then in your dealings, Be honest in all your dealings and God will reward and favour you in the end. Show courtesy, concern and compassion for other people and help then when they are down and out, suffering from stress, anxitey and depression. It does not have to be that way, a pill, a kind word, a loving heart and a beautiful composure in explaining how they might have gone wrong or what to do about the problem to alleviate the worry and strife. Being in trouble is not the end of the world as there is always a way out, a light at the end of the tunnel. God is just waiting to show you how to get out of your hole and which road to take in the future for the new right and positive direcdtion. Well I hope that I have not gone off the road too far in explaining thngs to you and that I have kept it as straight as possible in all ways of thinking. It is so easy to digress and diverse into all sorts of different directions and we must try and stay on the straight and narrow path, God is there waiting to show us the way and he is leading the way for us to foloow, recognise the signs and be as sure as you can about the steps that you take. You will get there in the end to the place in heaven to call home, just remember to put God first in everything that you do and He will lead and guide you every step of the way if you just allow Him and let him show you the direction.
