yesterday i ended up telling a girl i don't smoke or drink she said "look at you, you're such a good person!" i said "i'm not a good person, i'm just a nerd" she laughed but for the record, that is the truth sometimes people tell me they think i'm a good person.. I AM NOT A GOOD PERSON i try to stay away from a few things but that does not make me righteous and i am fully aware of this fact righteousness is more than just staying away from a few things.. how do i regard people when they're not around? how do i treat those with little to no power, money, or influence? am i truly following the rules and regulations in the Bible? is my heart right? is my language clean? am i patient and kind? do i give of myself? the list goes on there are a lot of things people can't see, or things people overlook because they are comparing a person to someone who is worse i talked about this in a song where i said: "cats are hopin' God grades on a curve/ your best bet is to stay in the Word" people really think God is grading us on a curve.. which hey honestly bro.. He might be! who am i to say He is or isn't? BUT honestly its better to err on the side of caution when it comes to trying to live right and be in right standing with the Lord, we should probably look less at what other people are doing and instead try to stay in the Word and really try to live up to what is in there so NO... i do not think i am a good person at all.. i am not delusional about myself in this regard.. i don't claim to be a good person just because i stay away from a few tempting things.. i try to have a sober view of myself.. there is a lot to living a righteous lifestyle and i can't say i've mastered every aspect or anything like that.. a song comes to mind
