February 4

Choose a friend.

He will help you.

Alas, he deserts you.

Choose an enemy.

He will fight against you.

Lo, he corrects and perfects you.

Choose what you want.

Want what you need.

Need what you deserve.

Deserve what God gives. Give just to discover and realise that you were already given.
