She doesn’t deserve to drive that car
That’s what I thought today as I watched this older lady get into a Mercedes SL63 coupe today in a parking lot. I mean, there’s no way she drives it over 45mph.
And then it hit me…why do I deserve it?
Or better, why do I think I deserve it? And the truth is, I don’t. That’s just my nemesis, pride jumping into the conversation again. Still trying to break him. In fact, I did a quick mental check and thought of a bunch of things that I have that I don’t really deserve. And it was a good reminder that I need a savior. Thank you Jesus for grace, for giving me something that I don’t deserve.
Just some Monday morning confession. Good for the soul.
You?
Great reminder. Pride comes before a fall. Keep up challenging me to remove my pride.
I learned this last night as I watched 60 minutes and the story about a town in Ohio that has last over 10,000 jobs and is struggling to even survive. I realized that all the complaining and feeling sorry for myself about not having a job is really pathetic considering that I have a family that is taking care of me. These people are the providers of their house, they are trying to provide for kids and cannot make a way.
It was very difficult to watch and showed me that what I was complaining about is really just a way of feeling sorry for myself and not for others.
Love the honesty Kyle. Maybe I’ll make this a regular component. Monday Morning Confessions. What ya think?
I don’t deserve you. I’m so thankful for you. I am also thankful I don’t have scurvy.
