Years ago, and in another life, I had a feisty personal assistantAlthough she is genuinely compassionate, she had a favorite line: “Get over yourself” - I think that held her together through a hard and complicated season of her life • she said it to herself, to he friends, to people who called the church office for help, ◦ and more than once she said it to me–her boss • but she never said it when I didn’t need to hear it ◦ Paul’s next lesson in this letter to the Galatians is, “Get over yourself” - the chapter break here is unfortunate • his contrast between the works of flesh and fruit of Spirit ended at chapter 5, verse 25 ◦ verse 26 fits perfectly with where chapter 6 ◦ now he begins to stress the importance of caring for each other • “conceit” interferes with that personal care ◦ rather than assisting each other, conceit provokes others ◦ rather than respecting others, conceit envies others “Get over yourself so you can be here for those who need you”
