I Corinthians 15:10
"His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain"
The way we continually talk about our own inability is an insult to the Creator. The deploring of our own incompetence is a slander against God for having over looked us. Get into the habit of examining in sight of God the things that sound humble before men, and you will be amazed at how staggeringly impertinent they are. "Oh, I shouldn't like to say I am sanctified; I'm not a saint." Say that before God; and it means "No, Lord, it is impossible for you to save and sanctify me; there are chances I have not had; so many imperfections in my brain and body; no, Lord, it isn't possible." That may sound wonderfully humble before men, but before God it is an attitude of defiance.
The things that sound humble before God may sound the opposite before men. To say Thank God, I know I am saved and sanctified is in the sight of God, it means you have so completely abandoned yourself to God that you know He is true. Never bother your head as to whether what you say sounds humble before men or not, bur always be humble before God
There is only one relationship that matters, and that is your personal relationship to a personal Redeemer and Lord. Let everything else go, but maintain that at all costs, and God will fulfill His purpose through your life. One individual life may be of priceless value to God's purposes, and yours may be that life.
May God Bless You
And Your Families
