Being Winsome

I read during my devotions the quote : To win someone , you must be winsome". The dictionary says that winsome means engaging, that someone who is winsome wins friends easily. I don't really know if I am "winsome".. I kind of don't care if I make someone mad... well at least if I don't have any respect for them as a person, but I do care what people think about me. It is hard for me to be winsome because I am one of the moodiest people I know. I remember when God was doing a serious work in my life a couple of years ago. He was teaching me that I couldn't use the fact that" I inherited this from so-and-so, so it's just who I am" as an excuse for not being loving and compassionate. Being loving and compassionate is not my nature.. Why? because my nature is sinful. I'm thankful that although I still have not learned this lesson, God is patient enough to continue teaching me until I do learn it.
May my life be one of love and compassion today.
