It is a confession of commitment and loyalty. Any man or woman with this kind of resolve will make heaven.
Blessing Uneku Musa's comment on 2013-02-25 02:23:48:
The people you stay with at the moment are the most valued ones, drive away the bitterness of where you came from, count not the entreats of the present moment, and always try to find a solace anywhere, and it shall be your dwelling place. In life it is difficult to go back to old place to stay rather we plan for new leaving with those that are doing well and accept us. I have a strong emotional feeling and difficulties when departing from anywhere, anybody and anything.
