Just because you get thousands of likes on your profile picture will not keep a man.

Being honest about things in your past will not keep a man.

Being faithful and loyal since day one doesn't keep a man.

Treating a man better than he's ever been treated before doesn't keep a man.

Making an effort every single day to make sure he knows you truly care will not keep a man.

Giving him all of your time that you can spare, doesn't keep a man.

You could have the best intentions in the world and could have the most sincere feelings, and you could be the most perfect woman in existence and you still wouldn't be able to keep a man.

The only way to keep a man is if that man wants to be kept by you.

With a man, you can tell he wants to be kept when the relationship gets very hard and he does everything to fight for you.

A man only fights for a woman he wants to belong to, so if he isn't fighting for you when things get hard, then that means he doesn't want to be kept by you anymore.

The truth im trying to make is, Don't hold on to a man who doesn't want to be kept by you.

You're not giving up on him. It's quite the opposite.

It's him who gave up on you, and it's you who shouldn't waste any more of your time than you already have.

Know when it's time to let go, know when it's time to walk away, and know when it's time for him to be unkept. 

But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works. (Psalm 77:1112, NLT)

Everyone has difficult days when things don’t go according to plan. These days can be frustrating and sometimes overwhelming. It’s during times like these that we have to be especially careful about what we think and say. The scripture tells us that our lives will go in the direction of our thoughts. Do you need to change your thoughts today?

I love what the psalmist wrote here in Psalm 77. He was facing immense challenges when he cried out to God and said, “You know what? I’m going to focus on what God has done for me. I’m going to dwell on His goodness. I will recall His deeds to mind.”

Today, don’t dwell on negative, self-defeating thoughts. Instead, recall His deeds to mind. Focus on what He’s done for you. Thank Him for the gift of life and salvation. Make a list of all His wonderful blessings. Let your thoughts turn toward Him today and recall His wonderful deeds!

Father, I bless Your holy name today! Thank You for the gift of life both now and in eternity. Thank You for loving me and setting me free. Help me to keep my mind on Your good deeds in Jesus name. Amen
