Instant tension developed between us, causing division. Because he perceived me as a braggart, it caused dislike. We have never talked about golf since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although I don\u2019t completely understand my friend\u2019s reaction, I appreciate that my self-exultation caused it. Unintentionally, I twisted his nose and caused it to bleed. The phrase \u201cnose out of joint\u201d means upsetting or offending someone by making them feel less important or valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I never want to make someone feel less important or unvalued. Therefore, I must watch my words and cover my mouth when tempted to exalt myself foolishly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choosing words wisely builds relationships. Foolish exaltation tears connections apart.<\/p>\n\n\n Lord forgives us for putting people\u2019s noses out of joint. Please give us discernment and wisdom when choosing our words so that we uplift and encourage people instead of tearing them down. IJNIP.
