Outdoing Our Own Superlatives

Fellow Labourers-

As I read this article my mind went to the "Our Daily Bread" reading on God's love and Ours. It speaks about Billy Graham's reaction when his son Franklyn was rebelling and came storming in a meeting he was conducting and demanded money. The article said Billy Graham showed no shame or guilt nor did he apologize for his son. This was written by Franklyn himself in his autobiography called "Rebel with a cause." I believe Mr. Graham could react the way he did because he lived what he preached, and he had nothing to prove. He was not seeking to be in the Guinness Book of Records.

In this competitive and comparison driven world, we are faced with a number of superlatives. We all have different role models/idols that we want to emulate, and sometimes we fail to be who we are. So much so that we confuse our own selves. What about "I'd rather be me?" Is this old fashion, or you don't know who me is. Let us strive to be who God made us to be. And, if you are unsure of who that is, then ask, seek and knock.

Pax Vobiscum
