Mark of honor
Praise!
My dear beloved Youth in Christ,
Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor;
only fools insist on quarreling.' — Proverbs 20:3
A person who is truly confident of his or her strength does not need to parade it. A truly brave person does not look for chances to prove it. A resourceful woman can find a way out of a fight. A man of endurance will avoid retaliating. Foolish people find it impossible to avoid strife. Men and women of character can.
What kind of person are you?
O God, grant us the grace to forgive, to endure, and to forget.
Jesus loves you!
