It does feel good when you're told you are special...
Or the word "different," in this case.
Mr. McBride told the husbands-to-be in our class:
Women just want to be appreciated.
It's true.
Who knew what he said would help not just the men, but the women too--
I understand my heart better now.
It feels good.
But it's my pride, my self, my sinful nature feeling good.
It feels good because it's exactly what my old man would have wanted to hear.
Thank God he's crucified and I now have to liberty to truly sing:
"Riches I heed not,
nor man's empty praise."
So I thank you for your compliment,
but I will be careful to make my focus on God and on esteeming others more significant than myself.
Holy Spirit,
let's fight it together.
