For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; Romans 12:3
Paul could not and would not tell all he had seen and heard from God. He was very careful not to boast about his many accomplishments as a servant of Jesus. His goal in life was to seek and save the lost, just as Jesus did. Bragging about ourselves and being conceited, is a sure fire way not to connect with people. Conceit is a weird disease. It makes everyone sick except the one who has it. As we talk to people, let's find out about others so we can connect them with Jesus. Remember the formula for joy. Jesus first, Others next, and Yourself last.
