“Maturity is realizing how many things don’t require your comment.” Rachel Wolchin

I want to be the kind of person who does not feel the need to comment on everything and everyone. Sadly, I fail in this at times. Remember the precious wisdom of Thumper, "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all." If I must say something, let me at least fly it past the One who listens to all we say before I say it. Edit me Lord, before I publish.

“When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.” Prov.10.19 “Conversations Within” ts 6/1/2017

“I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best for both the body and the mind.” Albert Einstein

Modesty of judgment is a peaceful grace. How blessed we are when we escape the temptation to criticize, and not just the use of critical words, but even critical and condemning thoughts. Do not pass judgment on others, but rather, pass peace. A modest manner of life will also keep us from actions that would tempt others to pass judgment on us. Do not pass judgement on others. Do not be the cause of judgement from others. Live life with a modest and unassuming grace.

“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves” Phil.2.3 “Conversations Within” ts 5/31/2017

“The grace that makes every grace amiable is humility.” Samuel Richardson

It is hard, if not impossible, to be judgmental and humble at the same time. Humility works an unassuming grace in our attitudes and actions toward others. This realistic assessment of ourselves understands one simple truth; that when we see someone acting foolishly, we too have walked in similar shoes. Better to humbly pray for them than to judge and criticize them.

“And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 1Pet.5.5 “Conversations Within” ts 5/30/2017
