For some, the courage it takes to even show up is off the charts.
“And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’” — Matthew 20:6-7, ESV
Repentance is not so much a sudden change of heart as a gradual remaking of one.
“And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.” — Ezekiel 11:19-20, ESV
A diva’s talent doesn’t always justify the attitude, but it’s worse if it does.
“Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.” — Proverbs 27:2, ESV
