A philosopher once asked, “Do you wish people to speak well of you?  Then never speak well of yourself.” In other words—get over yourself!

In Luke 14:10, Jesus said to His followers, “Go sit in a seat that’s not important. When the host comes to you, he may say, ‘Friend, move up here to a more important place.’ Then all the other guests will respect you.”

Paul said in Galatians 6:14, “The cross of our Lord Jesus Christ is my only reason for bragging.”

Do you feel a need for affirmation? Does your self-esteem need attention? You don’t need to drop names or show off. You need only pause at the base of the cross and be reminded of this. The maker of the stars would rather die for you than live without you.  And that’s a fact. So if you need to brag—brag about that!
