'Don't let the wise brag of their wisdom.
Don't let heroes brag of their exploits.
Don't let the rich brag of their riches.
If you brag, brag of this and this only:
That you understand and know Me.
I'm God, and I act in loyal love.
I do what's right and set things right and fair,
and delight in those who do the same things.
These are My trademarks.'
- Jeremiah 9:23:24 {The Message}

I like the last part, "These are my trademarks."
ReplyDeleteI would love to be sitting on that bench looking out over the water on this very hot, humid day.
That water's sure looking mighty refreshing right about now, my friend ...
