A man's father is disrespected by a younger guy. His first instinct is anger, but his wife and his faith make him pause. He chooses humility instead, realizing that reacting in rage would betray what he claims to believe.
And so we should be willing to have that level of sensitivity to say, okay, what do I have to become? I'll share a personal example with you. Something had took place where it triggered me. A guy had came at my parents sideways. It's not that my dad can't hold his own and stuff like that, but it was a younger guy. He rode him, he came at him sideways. And so I'm right there and I go off internally. I'm like, well, I'll call him. I'm not gonna say what I said. But I like, I'll call him, give me the phone and I'll deal with it. And so then I sat there and my wife was talking to me. So now I'm convicted because the Holy Spirit is telling me, no, no, no, see, now you're compromising. You're compromising because you want to let your flesh take over and then you want to find yourself repenting. So then in that moment, I had to turn around and ask myself, I didn't want to, DJ, but I had to ask myself, what must I become So this person can be reached. I might have to eat some things that I don't want to eat. He might think I'm weak. I might have to take some things. I might have to adapt to some things, all that this man might see Christ. Because who is it about? Is it about me letting him know that, bro, really, you're not going to talk to nobody like this? Or is it about showing a level of humility and him to say, man, I said a lot of stuff that should have made Tim Pratt Jr. go off, bro. Really, we should have came to blows. But he didn't do it. But he didn't do it.
