GRIT WITH INTEGRITY OR PRETENTIOUS PIETY??

Have you ever spent time with someone so self righteous you feel like at any moment they will just BURST, EXPLODE or come unwound?

I have. And when I got home, I looked in the mirror and said “Hey, why do you act like that?!” 
For many years in my youth I was so concerned with keeping up impressions and modifying my behavior to suit the likings of those I wished to dazzle. I was once asked, “Do you have anything to say that comes from your own heart and mind or do you only spit Bible verses?” 
At another time, “You’re intense! Like a main spring on a watch wound too tight! I have no idea when you’re gonna snap or who you might hurt when you do!” 

It took me a while to grow up and understand what they meant and how I needed to change. 
Perhaps you know someone who is now like I was then. Perhaps it’s you. There is hope for positive change. There is a better way to be.
