yesterday a girl text me and she said she likes the fact that i am a 'moral' type of guy.. and she said she wishes she could be more like me
i don't really take credit for being moral because like.. i'm just not where i want to be as far as being Christ-like and everything but i really appreciated her saying that because it made me feel good and made me want to strive harder to be a good person sometimes i feel like "i could be a good person but what is the point" ...i get discouraged just like everyone else like why should you try if you have no one to influence, or no one to make happy, or no one to make proud, or no one to bless, or whatever its like you could say bad words all day around yourself and it seems like it doesn't matter, but if you have a child or something then you might say to yourself "i now have a reason to speak with a clean tongue" and i know we should strive to be good all the time because of God but sometimes our responsibility to people feels a little more tangible than our responsibility to God (at least to me) so it was good to hear someone sort of encourage me in the area of morality because i get weak, i get confused, i get frustrated, i sometimes flat-out give up but i don't want to give up... i want to be strong 100% of the time the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak so to speak so yeah that really meant a lot to have her say that i think as a man, having some non superficial encouragement from a girl is like huge.. i've gotten compliments on shirts and haircuts and things like that, but having a woman say she admires my character really encourages me
