My Journal

I have yet to finish this book, but my favorite chapter thus far is: The Right to Feel Superior. I greatly admire Mabel Williamson's honesty towards racial discrimination. She was not the simple minded sort, or was she the self-fooled hypocritical type. Most others would easily fall into these two categories.

When she was given money as a gift from a fairly wealthy Chinese, that's when the racial/cultural discrimination tried to struggle in her. A great lesson learned. 

This is important, as it brought light into many such as myself, to re-evaluate ourselves, characteristics we thought or believed we were not of, but in fact we have been hiding these within ourselves and displaying them in a different form masked by hypocrisy.

Then according to truth, the right to feel superior is not a matter of pride anymore, but a sacrificial matter in a non-hypocritical manner. But how can this be non-hypocritical? If one is made more superior than others in wisdom, faith, strength, health, wealth, etc. How can such person say: "I am not better than you", without being hypocritical about it? It is only when one recognizes such gift is by the grace of the Sovereign God, therefore a greater responsibility and as a result the giving up of such superiority for the Lord, so that God can use this sanctified body for His purpose, for the salvations of others.
