Continued from yesterday: abrasiveness, anger, arrogance – none of these things produce the righteousness of God. And if someone’s motivation in “sharpening others” is to move that person toward greater righteousness, then the three As better be dropped like a hot potato. And while I will not say that the person employing abrasiveness, anger, or arrogance has as their true motivation exalting self rather than raising up another, that often seems to be the result, doesn’t it? ♥
