Paul said he would boast of his sin so that God's glory could be seen even brighter.
Look at me...The greatest sinner of all.
Look what Jesus did... He saved me from myself.
Boast away Laurie as you tell people what Jesus is doing in your life.
There are times we need to be boastful. There are times we need to show validation (toot our own horn) so that others may understand where our ES&H comes from.
Who you are and what you have done are the qualifiers that back up your ES&H.
I am Laurie...
A mom.
A wife.
A member of NA.
I have done these things in NA....
I have experienced this things in life....
If not for the grace of God...
The difference I see between being boastful in a wrong sense and being boastful so that others may better know us... Pride.
Do I boast to lift me up... bad pride filled boasting
or do I boast (share what I know) so that others may better understand and find answers... good loving boasting.
