First of all, it is not because…
… I travel that I am not thinking about my future.
… I smile all the time that I have no problems.
… I have a lot of female friends that I am not faithful.
… I have made mistakes that I have not changed.
… I carry you in my heart that you should take me for granted.
… I come when you invite me that I am starving at home.
… I shut you out of one area of my life that I am shutting you out of my life.
… I talk to you every day that you should feel indispensable in my life.
… I do not talk to you every day that I am not thinking of you.
… I open my house to you that you may take whatever you like in it.
Next, it is not because…
… I live in the West that I have no money problems.
… I tell you about my problems that you should think everything is permitted to you in my life.
… I come and cry in your arms that you should take advantage of me.
… I am a woman on her own that you should think you can do whatever you like with me.
… I talk to you about my wife that you may take the liberty of going to talk to her.
… I live my life as I see fit that I have neither vision nor principles.
… I do not live my life the way you would live it that I do not deserve to live.
… I have a wife that I can no longer have time for myself.
… I do not have children yet that I understand nothing about adult life.
… I have children that I should no longer have a life.
And also, it is not because...
… I lend you money that I have so much of it I no longer know what to do with it.
… I do not share your values that I have no values.
… I do not go to church as much as you do that God is not blessing me.
… I argue with your point of view that I am being rude.
… I do not share your vision on one subject that we should no longer have any subject at all.
… I am successful in my life that I belong to a cult.
… I make purchases you do not understand that I am living beyond my means.
And finally, it is not because...
… there are a great many of them in the wrong that they are right.
… you are right that I am wrong.
… you are single that your heart is free.
… you are out of sight that you are out of mind.
… it is difficult that it is impossible.
… you are going through a hard time that God has forgotten you.
… it did not work today that it will fail tomorrow too.
Life holds surprises in store.
And it is not because life holds surprises in store that it should not be lived. L-I-V-E!!!
Oh yes! It is not because you are going to read this without sharing it with your friends that I am going to hold it against you.
