Do not brag No one is greater simply because he or she is first in the class or won the school’s science fair. And no one is any less just because they came in last place. You are who you are before God, regardless of your achievements.Many times we appear to be something we are not, perhaps to create a positive image in society or before our relatives or friends. Yet only God and you can truly know who you really are.Remember that we should never appear to be something we are not. It happens to us when we like a girl and we pretend to be great and can do just about anything. I believe...
