May we stop trying to win God’s approval, the approval of others, and even self-approval through things we think they will perceive as righteous. May our righteousness be disguised in humility, love and mercy.
I was told by some extended family members that sometimes they perceive me as being self-righteous. That shocked and upset me. I apologized and told them that is not at all how I want them to see me. That is why I liked this blog so much. It made me see that maybe I was concerned about demonstrating fruit, instead of disguising my righteousness (my righteousness still sounds wrong to say) in humility, love, and mercy. Thanks so much for this.
