Wisdom from friends.

     Lucy’s first blog post really stood out to me. She wrote about how she used to struggle with serving two masters, herself and God. One part that spoke to me was when she wrote about how she got tired of just being good on her own, but she still sought out attention for doing good works. Our acting the part of a “good” Christian causes us to become prideful and then we want the attention for our own “righteous” actions. As Christians, we should stop trying to act good on our own. Instead, we need to give God the glory he deserves for the righteousness he produces in our lives. This was a really insightful way to look at the reasoning going on behind my own desire to receive recognition for my “righteousness.” Most Christian’s struggle with acting good instead of being real and admitting brokenness. I hope we can come to the realization that God is the one who works righteousness in us, anything else is just pride.
