A REVEALING QUESTION

Proverbs 18:24a A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly:

2Corinthians [CEV] 13:5a Test yourselves and find out if you really are true to your faith.

  I like meeting people. More than that I like edifying people. One method being respectful questions showing genuine interest in getting to know them. A variant of my Dad’s practice is asking “What is important about you that you’d like me to know?”

  One Sunday morning a young woman and boy occupied the pew forward of where I sat. After the service I greeted them and we chatted. Among other information I discovered was the boy was in the 6^th grade. After a few minutes of conversation I asked him the question.

  Without hesitation he replied “I have good friends.” . . . his 4 word answer telling a great deal about himself, especially pertaining to his level of maturity. I responded telling him he had revealed a great deal of good about himself.

  At this point in reading today’s DT you’re asking yourself how you’d answer the question and what it would reveal about yourself, aren’t you?
