Self Pity has No Place in a Saint

Self-pity, what a terrible way to live.

Self-pity, the wrong attitude, the wrong take to have on this life.

If you are a believer, then you have no reason to feel sorry for yourself:

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

"Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will." (Ephesians 1: 3-5)

Wow! You are a child of God, and in Christ we receive all the Spiritual blessings!

You have no reason to feel sorry for yourself.

But you and I, Beloved, do have a part to play, one which is so simple that people seem to pass it by without even realizing that they have skipped over it:
"Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." (John 6: 29)

and

"For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive [lit. are receiving]abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ." (Romans 5: 17)

and
"That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus." (Philemon 6)

We need to renew our minds (Romans 12: 2) to the truth of who we are in Christ Jesus!

Self-pity is a pit of self, but we are called to live life in the Way, the Truth, and the Life:

"As he is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4: 17)
