Mathematics was never my favourite subject and yet, it’s one of the subjects that most makes sense. Once you understand it, you’re in the circle. In life, maths plays a very important role, especially when it comes to adding and subtracting. We use this practically every single day but we hardly think we can add to anybody’s life.
It’s the usual ‘who am I to do this!’ The problem with that is that if we don’t add, we subtract… and that’s where most problems come from. Somebody somewhere stopped adding to someone else’s life and there you go, a problem is born. In regards to wives, this is so crucial. We get married to add some value to the man we commit to. We don’t get married thinking ‘I just want to have somebody sleeping next to me every night’. When we stop adding to his life, we start taking away because that’s just how things work. Women have the power to influence anybody they want to either do good or bad. If you want to add to your husband’s life, start giving. If you want to subtract, start demanding – this is a sure way to divorce.
The same applies to every other area of your life. If you stop giving to your children, you’ll start taking away. If you stop giving to your health, you’ll start taking away… and so forth.
In faith,
