(May 27, 2015)
If
there was a particular weakness that I would say that I struggle with, it is
the idea that I am somehow a “good” person.
I am getting my life together, but like the Pharisee, I tend to look
with pride at how I am trying to live my life.
Reading this today was such a good and needed reminder to me of who I am
and who I need to be.
In my
life I have made so many mistakes. By
any reasonable rights, I should have been cast off for my rebelliousness and my
unfaithfulness. Yet, for whatever
reason, the Lord did not let go of me during a time when I was doing everything
I could is seemed to escape Him.
No
matter what I do for the rest of my life, I will be an unprofitable
servant. That, of course, was always the
case but it is even more the case now than before. When I look at the progress I have made I
recognize that this is not something for me to feel pride over as the room for
progress was created by my sinful nature in the first place.
