STOP AND THINK What someone is begins to be revealed when his talent abates, when he stops showing us what he can do. (Friedrich Nietzsche, 19th century German philosopher and poet)
We most often judge someone by what he or she does and can do. It’s their talents and abilities—their accomplishments that impress us. But what do we see or know of them when their deeds are done and forgotten? What’s left? We are reminded once again that what we are is more important than what we do.
In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity [and] seriousness. (Titus 2:7)
