A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Every noble life leaves its fiber interwoven forever in the work of the world. Years later, when confronted with a crisis, we think of the person and the trustworthy advice given in love, and it enables us to go on. If we are so fortunate to have been granted such a gift, let us thank God every day for that person.
Nobility is all about making the abrasions of life into sterling metal.
The fires of life temper the true steel of the noble soul. True nobility presupposes riches of everlasting quality such as virtue, tolerance, high standards and motivations, integrity, generosity, and graciousness. We become what we behold and, by beholding Christ, we become gracious and lovely and noble, fit for earth and then heaven. What a low profile Person was our Jesus. He did not come to this earth to make a name for Himself and to be acclaimed by the fickle and feckless crowd.
