(Job 2:9) “Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die."
It impossible to pretend to be someone you are not, one may get away with it for a time, but all will eventually be exposed, be certain of that. God will bring every secret thing into the open. With that said, what is a man to do if what he sees is despicable and unappealing when he views himself in the mirror against God’s glory, against the beauty of His beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ? The thought of suicide comes to mind, but even that in itself is not an option as we will all have to stand before God on Judgment Day.
What about the advice of Job’s wife when she asked why he still held onto his integrity, and suggested that he curse God and die. Now as far as integrity goes, I would not even pretend with any hint of a suggestion that I have any. But as far as cursing God and dying, by the grace of God I will not! I may end up with nothing and in some gutter all because of so many bad choices, but so be it!
God is God and He has it in His power to do whatever He pleases, whenever He pleases who are we to even dare to question Him? All praise and honour belongs to Jesus Christ the Lord for His selfless sacrifice, praise His name now and forever more!

The opposite of "Curse God and die" is "Worship God and live". God's grace gives us what we don't deserve and His mercy witholds from us what we do deserve.
Thanks for the inspiration Tyrone.
