Eyes That Cannot See

Inconsistencies are all I see.

People don’t know what they want. People — myself included — let friendships fall because of the shame of confession. So they falter when their ego is shattered. The offense isn’t coming from you; it’s coming from what they have dealt with.

Continual criticism makes you want to avoid them like a plague. They ask questions and then get offended by the honest answer they asked for.

The sin of pride spreads like leprosy; no one wants to be around it. The wise don’t want to catch it.

“You think they didn’t see that? See what you just did?”

"You think we didn’t catch that sly remark you just made?" They saw it.

Your breath of arrogance reeks like halitosis.

“Not everyone can take criticism.” But why? Why does criticism need to be negative? Why can’t it be an opportunity to build deeper relationships and to excel?

Excel is not the same as exalting yourself.

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. — Luke 23:34
