Dear Single:  A handshake that goes beyond the elbow is no longer a play.

Dear Single

I want to believe that you read my other letter in which I addressed matters relating to kissing and its family members. Don’t ever think it’s a trivial issue. Go and read

Today, I come up with a proverb that needs to be explained. This statement does not only apply to only young people. I will try and tailor it to suit you, my target group.

A handshake that goes beyond the elbow is no longer a play.  We all know that handshakes are means of showing appreciation and affirmation.

When someone offers to shake your hand, most times it will be as a result of something good (aside from the normal form of greeting). It will be odd when someone wants to shake you and before you realize, his hands are in your armpit.

Well, there is a deeper meaning to this proverb.

My dear single, the meaning of this proverb is simple; you have to know at what point to say No. You have to know when to draw the lines. You have to be quick to know who is only interested in taking advantage of you. Simple!

As you journey through life, you are going to meet all manner of people. People will associate with you because of reasons best known to them.

I beseech you by the mercies of God to be mindful of people that you allow into your close circle of friendship. Be swift to detect players, slayers, and crooks. When the handshake starts going beyond your elbow, you must know that you are not safe anymore.

When people start suggesting things that are out of the will of God for your life, you must know that the handshake is going beyond the elbow.

When friends start inviting you at the wee hours of the night, with or without a clear agenda, you must know that ‘water don pass gari’

Maybe you are a teenager reading this: there is this guy who is all over you with nice looks and beautiful words. Read the lines on the wall and back off. Some people can be patient but dangerous o you need to watch out.

What about you, young man? Any time she comes to your room, she is only interested in sitting on your lap. Are you a laptop?

Life is too precious to waste while you are single. Invest every bit of your life into things that will brighten your desired future. Don’t associate yourself with people who will dissociate you from God and his word.

In conclusion, have you ever heard that evil company corrupt good manners? It is true. Have you ever heard that you will be wise when you walk with the wise? It is very true. What is said about the Companion of fools….. they will be destroyed

Until I come your way again, remember that a handshake that goes beyond the elbow is no longer a play.

For the love of God, society, and young people

Blessings

Your brother in Christ
