 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 That was a nice ride!<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Yes, and I loved the time we spent together.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Let’s encourage each other now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This comes from the book Paul:\u00a0 A Man of Grace and Grit by Charles Swindoll<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rather than racing into the limelight, we need to accept our role in the shadows.\u00a0 I’m serious here.\u00a0 Don’t promote yourself.\u00a0 Don’t push yourself to the front.\u00a0 Don’t drop hints.\u00a0 Let someone else do that.\u00a0 Better yet, let God do that.<\/p>\n

If you’re great, trust me, the word will get out.\u00a0 You’ll be found…in God’s time.\u00a0 If you’re necessary for the plan, God will put you in the right place just the precise time.\u00a0 God’s work is not about us; it’s His production, start to finish.\u00a0 So back off.\u00a0 Let Him pull the curtains and turn on the stage lights.\u00a0 He’ll lay hold of an Ananias or Barnabas, who’ll come and find you at your most vulnerable point and lift you over the wall.\u00a0 Or He may choose you to be one of the nameless, lesser-known individuals who make the difference for someone else.\u00a0 Your part, pure and simple:\u00a0 Humble yourself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?<\/p>\n

Luke 6:41<\/p>\n
