This weekend my cousin said, "if someone has
to say 'I'm a nice guy,' then that means they're not." It got me thinking.
He was right. I had a friend from my school who always said, "I'm just a
nice guy." I thought nothing of it until now. And over time, I got to know
him better and saw how he treated others and to be honest, he wasn't that nice of a
guy. The way he treated myself and others made me really disappointed in him. What he always said never matched the way he acted. He wanted to impress me with his words. And well, I was fooled for a little while. His actions proved to me who he really is. And it finally makes sense now. Some people try paint pictures of what they want others to believe about themselves to feel better about what they're doing.
Words aren't always enough. To see a change, something needs to be done. The way I see people is through the way they act, not by what they say. So, I don't want to just say the right things. Instead, I want to strive to be a person who will live in a way that's pleasing to the Lord.

What you do is more significant than what you say. More than words, actions reveal who a person truly is.
