The Scriptures say, ‘If you want to brag, then brag about the Lord.’ You may brag about yourself, but the only approval that counts is the Lord’s approval.” (2 Corinthians 10:17-18 – Contemporary English Version) Humility seems to be a forgotten virtue. Not only do we expect arrogance, often we reward people who brag about their spiritual strength and their relationship with God. Of course, their words are for our benefit. True disciples of Christ are willing to deny themselves, to take up their crosses and to follow him without fanfare. You see, they realize that the one who counts sees everything, including their motives.
