A parable — Pride praise b

A man was praised for his work, and walked taller because of it. By evening he had grown to fit the praise. By morning the praise had moved to another, and he was small again. The praise had not added a finger's height; only the believing it had. Ask yourself: Whose tape measure is your height set by today? RED — be honest. Approval does not change your stature; only borrowing the measure of it. (A Narrow Highway original teaching parable — not a parable of Jesus; a made story that carries a true edge.)
