Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously 11/27/2024

 Good Morning,

There is a hot cup of Door County Pumpkin Spice Coffee next to me and it is still steaming, just the way I like it. 

I have had the experience of being around people who you never know how they will react to something you say or do. You have to think three times before you say anything that might offend them, or hurt their feelings. If their idea isn't used in planning something they are quick to tell you what you should have done and they will remark as they walk away " No one listens to me". 

Now it is important to listen to others and be inclusive. But not to the point that action is continually slowed down as you choose your statements and worry if your last comment or action will invoke a self started pity party by your insecure friend. 

This is a sure sign of insecurity and the fact that this person takes their self just a little bit too seriously. They are seeking the recognition of others. Yet God wants us to not take ourselves too seriously. We are to be humble and walk with God. Being a child of God, is all the significance one needs. 

God speaks on that subject in the book of Micah. Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O mortal what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. 

Food For thought.

Marty
