Because It's Cool

We watch too much tv. We listen too closely to the radio. We rarely read a book all the way through.
Far too frequently, we rely on swear words as a practical source of vocabulary.
We think and talk about sex too much. We have too many answers, and not enough questions….

Throughout high school, I was “Mr. Popular” I had my hands in, pretty much, every extracurricular activity that my school had too offer. As a result, I made a lot of friends, and made them easily.

However, I exalted spirits of arrogance and ignorance, and stuck my chest out at my peers. I’d do and say whatever I pleased, careless about the feelings and perspectives of other people. As a result, despite how popular I was, I don’t talk to anyone from my high school days anymore.
As stated in the Bible, “The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.”(Proverbs 10:7)

In order to make an impact, you have to be respected. In order to be respected, one must not fall victim to conceit. No matter how many friends, and/or followers you may have. You must never forget the power of God. At any given moment God can take away anything that he has blessed you with, leaving you with nothing but the results of your own sin.

I am saying all this to try and encourage those who reject correction, speak evil onto others, and brag amongst their peers to try harder to remain humble within their spirit. God blesses good people. Good people are remembered long after they are gone.

Let us all work hard to watch, very closely, everything we say and do.

That is the only way we can rightfully fear and respect the Lord. That is the only way to success.

  1. A good thing about writing is realizing that there is something in heart (thoughts and feelings) that deserves to be heard by an audience.
