Character Of A Man
This passage in Job 29 details some of the deeds that will produce a man to be admired. That man must be focused on others instead of fixated on himself. The result is a man who is able to endure the suffering we will experience in this life and still be triumphant instead of defeated.
Payback
As Christians, we are called to be like Christ. But in situations where the rubber meets the road do we truly think the way He did? This short poem calls us to see things the way He saw them instead of they way that we typically would react. Changing our perspective can go a long way to changing our behavior.
