Do you have CLASS?
Jun 12 in Proverbs
When others speak well of you, you’ve got acceptance, but when the truth speaks well of you, you’ve got class! Paul’s words to Timothy…set an example…in speech, in life, in love, in faith, in purity…that’s class. Consider these words carefully. Class is confidence dressed in humility. It keeps its word, its temper and its friends. It has a steady eye, a steady nerve, a steady tongue and steady habits. Its silent when it has nothing to say, thoughtful when it judges and is always first to make amends when it is wrong. It doesn’t run scared, is sure-footed, committed and handles whatever comes along. Class has a sense of humour. It never makes excuses it handles its setbacks, learns from its mistakes and becomes wiser. Class knows that courtesy and good manners are nothing more than a series of small sacrifices. Class can talk with kings yet still keep its virtue, maintain the common touch…because they are comfortable with themselves.
