“… and such were some of you…” (1 Corinthians 6:11).
I was strolling through yesterday and quite unexpectedly stepped into a rather unpleasant pile of personal history. Our history can be humbling. But humility is a good thing. God gives grace to the humble. He lifts up the humble. Humility is the prelude to praise, it makes us grateful for the grace we have received. Humility is an ego restraint and a reality check that helps us to be compassionate towards others. Perhaps that is why, while the Lord doesn’t want us to sink into despair about our “history,” we are reminded to remember it for the higher purposes it serves.
