For whatever reason, I've spent the last 48 hours holding my head in my hands and shaking it back and forth (ya know how you do when you've done something to make youreself look like a complete fool). At one point my Zone Leader, Elder Davis, even whispered over to my companion and I, "Dignity Sisters....dignity".
So the point of this blog is just that -
I've reflected on his comment and on how in the world to save myself from future embarassment and I came across a quote that gave me the insight I was looking for:
"Dignity does not float down from heaven it cannot be purchased nor manufactured. It is a reward reserved for those who labor with diligence."
And that's what I plan to do; labor with diligence. The moments where my dignity seems to have slipped right through my fingers are when I'm seeking to prove a point, seeking to elevate myself, or some other selfish design.
To gain dignity back we must forget ourselves and labor for the Lord.
Amen Sister!
