If it's all about love and service to mankind then it's okay but if it's rooted in fear of rejection or obsession with approval it crosses over to idolatry.

Attach some price even if it is very little , people never appreciate free things .
REASONS WHY PEOPLE NEVER APPRECIATE FREE THINGS
-Zero Price: When something costs nothing, people don't engage in the usual value assessment, often leading to neglect or disregard.
-Lack of Investment: Without spending money or time, there's no personal cost, so the item isn't perceived as valuable, unlike something earned.
-Mental Effort: People are more likely to be mindful and careful with items they paid for, as it involves their hard-earned money.
-Perceived Obligation: Free items can create pressure to accept or use them, even if unwanted, leading to resentment or disinterest.

“Hurry hurry has no blessings”
Proverbs 21:5
"The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty."

😂Guess what has no blessing either…
“INDOLENCE”
Proverbs 13:4
"The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied."

The blessing therefore lies in patient diligence i.e moving with purpose but not sloth; with care but not panic.

Selective Bible reading, or "cherry-picking," involves choosing certain verses or passages that align with personal beliefs while ignoring others, often leading to an imbalanced view of scripture.
**Disadvantages of selective reading of the Bible

1. Loss of Full Context
   Verses gain meaning from the chapters and books around them.
   Reading in isolation risks misinterpretation or twisting the intended message.
   Example: Quoting “Judge not,..."(Matthew 7:1) without the surrounding verses misses the teaching about righteous discernment.
2. Distorted Theology
   Selective reading can lead to emphasizing only comforting passages while ignoring challenging ones.
   This creates an incomplete picture of God’s character; love without justice, grace without accountability.
3. Weak Spiritual Growth
   Growth comes from engaging with the whole counsel of Scripture (Acts 20:27).
   Avoiding “hard” or “boring” sections means missing lessons on endurance, obedience, and wisdom.
4. Risk of Confirmation Bias
   People may only read verses that support their personal opinions or lifestyle. This turns the Bible into a tool for self-justification rather than transformation.
5. Neglect of Balance
   The Bible contains history, poetry, prophecy, wisdom, and letters; all serving different purposes.
   Selective reading ignores this diversity, reducing the richness of God’s Word.
6. Potential for Misuse
   Cults and false teachers often rely on selective verses to manipulate followers.
   Whole-Bible reading helps believers recognize and resist such distortions.
7. Missed Encouragement
   Some overlooked passages carry deep comfort and guidance.
   For example, genealogies or laws may seem dry but often reveal God’s faithfulness and care for detail.

Some of the questions interviewers ask wueeh!!... moreso male centered interviewers! Been listening to peoples experiences and atp i think if I get there I might just walk out middway the interview

I think everything gets into place when handled calmly!!
Everything beyond your control, you're not worry worrying about it!
Live in the moment and avoid being anxious about the future!...Someone said we could be worried about the future we're not even part of and that was so real! bitter truth!
We can plan but let not our plans overwhelm us and take us out of character
Let us practice the art of being still knowing eventually everything will fall into place .
