Don’t say you are good; be found doing good when no one is watching.
Don’t say you are honest; let your yes stand straight in the wind.
Don’t say you are moral; return what silence would let you keep.
Don’t say you are fair; make room for the voice without power.

Don’t say you are holy; let your life bow before your lips do.
Don’t say you are prayerful; let mercy rise from your knees.
Don’t say you are godly; let grace be the fragrance you leave behind.
Don’t say you have faith; walk calmly where fear is shouting.
Don’t say you serve God; serve the people He places near you.

Don’t say you are thoughtful; notice the burden no one mentioned.
Don’t say you are generous; give before gratitude is guaranteed.
Don’t say you are strong; carry others without making them feel heavy.
Don’t say you are humble; let another’s light not dim your own.
Don’t say who you are; live until love becomes your introduction.
