Today The Lord gave me a little correction, if you will. A thing that is done often in public and that I do often He gave me a new perspective on. I am a self mocker. I make jokes at the expense of me all the time. I get laughs. I have my whole life. The Lord pointed out something to me today. He did it while I was talking to my husband about points on how to be a better teacher. We had a Sunday school lesson and it was very hard for me to concentrate because the teacher kept insulting himself and putting himself down, most of the time to get a laugh. As a student I was very distracted by it and had a hard time feeling the spirit. On talking with my husband The Lord let me know why, and it cut me a little because He let me know I do it too much too. Some of the things I say about me I would never say to anyone or about them because they are rude... So instead of insulting another one of His children I degrade myself. Either way I am talking bad about one of His children, who He loves dearly. "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:40) It hurts Him as well. So, after my light bulb moment from The Lord, I am going to try to be better about speaking nice of EVERYONE, including me.
God Loves You!
