The devil operates a "honest program".

But just because I read the bible don't mean I advocate
worshipping angels (Col. 2:18).

The devil operates a "honest program."

Spiritual invention is never a substitute of religious convention.

The devil, operates a honest program.

Jails, institutions, and death.
Education isn't promised, slavery is.

The devil, operates a honest program.

Where a playful gesture; as an expression of individual freedom and choice at hairstraightening make Black woman complicit with a politic of racial domination that hurts us. (pg.155, hooks)

But honesty isn't the gold standard.

Truth is: My best interest is Righteousness; multiplied;
Not "right-sized"; "bite-sized" or minimalized. (Quran 4:40)

And just for today, I don't tell GOD how big my problems is; I tell my problems how big my GOD is, because my will is the Truth, and I am certain of that.

This is what GOD has given me. No one possesses power except GOD.

22:77. 'O you who believe, you shall bow, prostrate, worship your Lord, and work righteousness, that you may succeed.



Peace be upon you

moral: Humility is not charming

[18:32] Cite for them the example of two men: we gave one of them two gardens of grapes, surrounded by date palms, and placed other crops between them.

[18:33] Both gardens produced their crops on time, and generously, for
we caused a river to run through them.

[18:34] Once, after harvesting, he boastfully told his friend: "I am far more prosperous than you, and I command more respect from the people."

[18:35] When he entered his garden, he wronged his soul by saying, "I do not think that this will ever end.

[18:36] "Moreover, I think this is it; I do not think that the Hour (the Hereafter) will ever come to pass. Even if I am returned to my Lord, I will (be clever enough to) possess an even better one over there."

[18:37] His friend said to him, as he debated with him, "Have you disbelieved in the One who created you from dust, then from a tiny drop, then perfected you into a man?

[18:38] "As for me, GOD is my Lord, and I will never set up any other god besides my Lord.

[18:39] "When you entered your garden, you should have said, `This is what GOD has given me (Maa Shaa Allah). No one possesses power except GOD (La Quwwata Ellaa Bellaah).' You may see that I possess less money and less children than you.

[18:40] "My Lord may grant me better than your garden. He may send a violent storm from the sky that wipes out your garden, leaving it completely barren.

[18:41] "Or, its water may sink deeper, out of your reach."

[18:42] Indeed, his crops were wiped out, and he ended up sorrowful, lamenting what he had spent on it in vain, as his property lay barren. He finally said, "I wish I never set up my property as a god beside my Lord."

[18:43] No force on earth could have helped him against GOD, nor was it possible for him to receive any help.

[18:44] That is because the only true Lord and master is GOD; He provides the best recompense, and with Him is the best destiny.
