Hi Jim,
Loved this broadcast. This is going to sound funny but it reminds me of a show, 'What Not to Wear". If you haven't seen it, it's about two stylists who makeover usually a woman to dress better and help them reveal their personalities through their appearance. One of the the stylists, Stacy has a mantra for the women who think they are not pretty. It is: "I am beautiful and I am going to share my beauty with the world." It is so difficult for them to say sometimes.
Discovering one's glory and bringing it to the world is a dangerous endeavor. Most people would rather not face it.

Hey Meredith -- it is dangerous...for the side of goodness. And...it will be assaulted. And, many don't acknowledge their God-endowed splendor, for fear that it sounds prideful. ...That couldn't be any further from the truth.
I loved this podcast. One thing that really stood out for me is when you and Gary said that for some people, their calling is to deliver a message but, for others, their calling is to serve. I think that’s an absolutely wonderful distinction and it helped me to see that my calling is really more in the area of serving which is why I don’t tend to be as vocal about declaring the message as others are. I believe my calling is to encourage guys like you who are out there declaring the message.
Jim, I spend a lot of time thinking about how I can encourage you. Believe it or not, you’re never far from my thoughts. I know when you get discouraged and I love being able to share a word with you that encourages you. I feel like that’s how my glory is revealed.
Your friend and P. R. person,
Aida
Aida -- you're an absolute treasure. I love the encouragement!
I also loved the distinction Gary brought up about message or service. He's brilliant.
Hey Jim,
You said, "And, many don't acknowledge their God-endowed splendor, for fear that it sounds prideful..." Yes! Too true... Even standing up for yourself is prideful in some realms...But, I am a fabulous woman of God and I know it! :0) I wish others would embrace their own special glory so they would spend less time trying to degrade others' splendor.
