YOU TELL ON YOURSELF

For evry tree is known by its own fruit. Luke 6:44

You can't fool very many people very long. For you tell on yourself. Living on false pretense is a vain pitful gesture. Avoid it. Sooner or later your trur self will come through and be recogvized.

A person-both the wise and the foolish -tell on himself by his words. "The tongue of the wise useth knowledge alright: but the mouth of fools pouerth out foolishness" (Proverbs 1:2)

Also, a person makes himself known by his deeds. "Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be righ" (Proverbs 20:11)

You tell on yourself by the friends you seek,

By the very manner in which you speak,

By the way you employ your leisure time,

By the use you make of dollar and dime.

You tell what you are by the things you wear,

By the spirit in which your budens you bear,

By the kind of things at which you laugh,

By the records you play on the phonograph.

You tell what you are by the way you walk,

By the things of which you delight to talk,

By the manner in which you bear defeat,

By so simple a thing as how you eat.

By the books you choose from the well-filled shelf;

By these ways and more, you tell on yourself;

So there's really no particle of sense

In an effort to keep up false pretense.

And all because a tree is known by its fruits. Sp just be what you really are. If that's not good enough, get busy and improve yourself.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Only those who risk going too far will ever know how far they can go.
