on being right

We humans like to be right.  We argue with each other incessantly about who is right and who is wrong.  How much do we really know anyway?  I am starting to feel like when we get to heaven St. Peter is going to tell us that all of us were not nearly as smart as we thought we were.

Jesus challenged the Pharisees, but he did not spend a lot of time arguing with people.  He did not argue with the woman at the well about the best place to worship.  Jesus focused on Kingdom things.  He was more interested in loving people than proving that he was right.

Wisdom is it's own reward.  Love is it's own reward.  Those who say, don't know.  Those who know, don't have to say.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
