I was recently around a person who had to announce how much money they made. They informed those listening that they lived in a 6,000 square foot house. On and on they went about how much they had. I found this very annoying, especially because a number of people who heard them say such things will never have that level of income or that size of home.
I think they were telling the truth. I think that they do have all of that stuff. But it just didn't sound good. I think people who need to tell you how cool or how good they are, are probably suffering from feelings of inferiority.
I feel bad about myself so I have to tell you how great I am.
It just doesn't sound good. Sometimes silence is golden. I wish that more people were ok with just sitting in silence.
John Wesley said, "preach the gospel, when necessary, use words." O how I wish we used less words and spent more time just loving people.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
