A Kiss from Rose | Mind Games Monday: A Dangerous Game to Play

There’s a danger in manipulating hearts, shifting emotions, and playing games with people’s minds — especially when they genuinely care for you.

🎭 Some people treat love, loyalty, and trust like chess pieces — moving people around, testing boundaries, seeing how far they can push someone before they break. That’s not wisdom. That’s wickedness wrapped in charm.

🚫 Let’s be clear:

Mind games are not cute.

They’re not power.

They’re not control.

They’re emotional cruelty disguised as personality.

📖 Galatians 6:7 (KJV):

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

Every manipulative move made in secret will one day show up in public consequences.

👀 You never know what someone’s already holding together.

You don’t know the battles behind their smile.

You don’t know what it took for them to show up.

And yet — you’re playing?

🎯 The enemy loves when we weaponize our words, play with people’s affections, and twist their minds for validation or revenge. Don’t give him that kind of control over your behavior.

💥 Truth Bomb from Grandma’s Corner:

If you have to confuse people to keep them, you’re not keeping them — you’re hurting them.

If you leave someone in emotional limbo, don’t be surprised when God removes YOU from their future.

🙏🏽 A Quick Prayer:

“Lord, help me to love people the way You love me.

Remove any selfishness, pride, or fear that causes me to harm others emotionally.

Make me honest, clear, and kind in all I do.

Let me never become a manipulator masked as a friend, lover, or leader.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

🛑 Mind Games Monday Challenge:

Take responsibility.

Apologize if you’ve misled someone.

Clarify your intentions.

Set clean boundaries.

And don’t play with people who were sent by God to bless you.

💌 From Grandma’s Corner:

Be real. Be kind. Be clear.

Because broken hearts are heavier than we think — and God sees who’s doing the breaking.
