I was asked to sign a book today. Being a writer this should have flattered me and I admit I was touched, but this was not a book I felt any inclination to sign. My new friend had been given a bible and was very stoked by a verse I had shared with her. I merely marked the page where she could again find the passage for herself.
A reminder came to mind from what Bob Sorge had recently shared. We can easily become ensnared by the trap of flattery. I was grateful my reaction was one of humility. I knew my friend was just sharing her joy but I know her real joy will never come from my words in her book. Her joy will be complete by the Word itself. That’s the life giving signature.
