Pity Ain't Your Friend

Pity Ain't Your Friend

Why?

Pity is from the devil.

Pity is a friend out for itself.

Pity will always:

Feed your flesh.
Fuel your folly.
Flame your fame.
Forsakes you when you fail...

Pity reminds me Ammon's friend...
Jonadab

The Jonadabs of life are gifted manipulators who will tell you what you want to hear... and steer you away from truth and your convictions. Don't pour your soul out to pity because pity will take advantage of your weakness and tell you that you have every right to feel this way.

• The Eyes, when they see something they say, "I want it!"

• The Flesh, when the eyes awaken the flesh, it joins in and says, "I must have it, I can't live without it, I need it, now!"

• Then Pride of life pushes them aside and says, "boy's, get out my way, I deserve it, and I deserve right now"

Remember this: God will never make you feel sorry for yourself.

Pity shows no partiality... it's a bottom feeder. Like a nasty flesh eating buzzard, it doesn't matter how something died, it just loves death and feeding on rotten relationships. Don't let pity pick you apart—one irritating piece at a time—until all you have is one wrecked relationship after another. And don't let the pity buzzards consume you before there is nothing left.
