Have you seen that friend who likes to brag a lot, who talks loud, pushes others, and says "I'm the best"? The Bible says whoever does that a lot is, deep down, just pretending to be brave. Whoever has a heart full of little wrong things gets scared and needs to pretend so nobody finds out.
But the upright child, who tells the truth, obeys their parents, and takes care of things, has a different kind of strength! They don't need to show off or shout. Since they have nothing to hide, they walk with their head held high and a smile on their face. It's the courage of our Father in Heaven living inside them!
