By the Grace of God
1 Corinthtians 15:10
Our persistent discussion of our own shortcomings is a disrespectful affront to the entity responsible for our existence. Accusing God of neglecting us is a fallacious claim when we complain about our own inadequacy. Develop the practice of scrutinizing, from a divine standpoint, those matters that may appear unassuming to human beings. You will be astounded by the remarkably improper and rude behavior towards Him. We often use expressions like, "Oh, I shouldn't assert that I am sanctified; I am not a saint." However, to assert this in the presence of God implies, "No, Lord, it is implausible for You to rescue and purify me; there are certain opportunities that have eluded me and numerous flaws in my mind and physique; no, Lord, it is not feasible." While this may appear modest to some, in the eyes of God, it is a rebellious attitude.
Conversely, what may appear humble in the presence of God can be perceived as the complete opposite by individuals. Expressing gratitude to God and acknowledging one's salvation and sanctification is regarded by God as the utmost demonstration of humility. It signifies a state of full submission to God, where one possesses unwavering certainty in His existence. Do not concern yourself with whether your words appear humble to others. However, it is crucial to have a humble attitude towards God and fully rely on Him for everything.
The sole relationship of utmost significance is the one between oneself and their individual Redeemer and Lord. If you steadfastly prioritize this above everything else, disregarding everything else, God will accomplish His intended objective via your life. An individual life might hold immeasurable importance in the context of God's intentions, and it is possible that your life could be the one.
