Yikes...zinger!

My brother-in-law is one of the people in my life that is super good at speaking truth into me...and I'm not even really sure that he knows it is taking place. Well he probably does but he doesn't do it in a way that ever really requires anything more, no follow-up, no debrief, nothing. He says something, and he says it with such truth and wisdom that I sit and think about it for a good long time...

So here is the most recent piece of truth from Brother Jay - a.k.a. Jay Jay the Jet Plane!

I think this started because my sister told him that some guy made me awkward...thanks sis, love you too!

Jay's instant question almost without thought...why do you think anyone makes you awkward? Do you think that you are assigning them too much value? Are you placing their worth above that of God?

Yikes - zinger! I'd never thought of it that way! But so true Jay, if I can talk freely and openly with God without hesitation why does a guy make me awkward? God is so much greater, why am I intimidated by a guy...perhaps my values are a bit off!

So think on it...what things or people in your life are you assigning too much value? Is it your car, if you wrecked it would your world spin out of control, your significant other, your pet, a new home...what is your stumbling block?
