Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
- Romans 12:16 (NIV)
"Don't be conceited!"
Well, that must be a command for someone else, right?
I don't think that I've ever met someone who felt he or she was conceited.
Many times, when we’re looking for someone with whom we want to associate, we seldom look for someone ignored by the crowd, forgotten by the pretty people, and easily overlooked by others.
We want to hang around with those who are important, the superstars, or at least someone who carries some clout.
We believe we deserve to be noticed and valued, too, and many times we will go to extremes to show others that we deserve to be “top dog”.
Oh, I guess that's where the commands in this verse come from!
