Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Philippians 2:3 NLT
We say things to impress. I just watched a maiden speech by an indigenous aboriginal woman from Alice Springs (it is where Ayres Rock is). This woman is against all virtue signalling by the current Labour Government. Her speech was courageous. I pray she is not affected by the desire to impress but rather impresses by her clear focus.
We can perform, usually to entertain. Here we do receive accolades, or rotten eggs. However, if we try to impress, and fail we become miserable.
Robin Williams was a famous funny man, however, all the accolades did not make him whole. His lostness drove him to suicide.
Our lostness means we need a saviour. That saviour can only be divine, because only a divine saviour is unaffected by the flesh. Our saviour is Jesus. He paid the way for us to be set free and whole. Amen
