Honor

I learned a lesson in honor. We were getting ready to leave a social event and a friend jokingly spoke up, “Well you’d better get going or else he will get all mad and upset.”
 “Yeah, he probably will.” I meant no harm in my comment as I played along.
Later I felt God pricking my heart, I ran through the scenario in my head. Sure enough, as small as the issue was, so small it possibly wasn’t even unnoticed, I had made an error. Later, I brought it up when we were together, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t honoring you.” He seemed surprised, but readily accepted my apology.
Yes, it was a harmless comment. But human nature has a way that if unattended, simple things like honor will be forgotten and left behind. Little comments will become more and more hurtful. However, I intend to do everything humanly possible to honor him. He certainly does not deserve less.
