I constantly pray to guard my
tongue, heart, thoughts and soul to be careful of what I say not to offend
others. I want to be treated the way I treat others. I do not always get the
same treatment but I still try. I think I am in some control of my emotions but
that is foolishness on my part. I am not always in control and my pride still
gets the better of me. Pride lets you be stupid at the moment and then
humiliates you later. Quoting Forrest Gump’s mother, “Stupid is as stupid does.”
I have to pray unceasingly not to let the foolishness of pride take control. The
sad part of pride allows others to take control of you. Be wary, my friend,
stay alert at all times.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
