Boasting

      James 4:16
But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
I just got off the phone with a dear friend of mines. We had a great convo. We talked about boasting and how sometimes people always try to one up each other.
In all the years I have known my bestie, I have never heard my bestie dwell on anything.
We prayed with each other and talked about how their family is so torn over small things.
                     Why go through it....
1. you can't take anything with you when you die,
2. You needed someone else to help you get there it might have been family, friends, and definatly God. (no matter if it was a babysitter, tutor, whatever, a friend to talk to)
3. you may boast about what you have or who you know but you don't know what THE OTHER PERSON have they MAY or may not HAVE MORE THAN YOU.
I told my bestie you don't have to always prove your worth to others let God prove it, you don't have to always talk or compare your worth.

Matthew 6:6
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
