When someone else discovers that I am right about something there
is a moment of power. There is a moment
when I have a choice to make. How am I
going to respond to being right. I know
that at times I use that moment to whittle down the person who disagreed with
me. This is always wrong.
When I am right I have the opportunity to hand out grace and
kindness instead of throwing stones. I can
be humble and respectful. This is the
best thing to do when I am in the position of being right.
Too often our culture uses being right to belittle and
dominate those in the wrong. It damages
relationships to do this. As a Christ
follower I am to be humble. I am to act
in a way that shows respect and love. I
am not to quarrel.
When I am right I have no reason to throw stones and every
reason to pass out as much grace as possible.
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
