It is very easy for a believer to be ignorant of his true spiritual condition. This is clear from the rebukes that the Lord gave to the leaders of the seven churches in Revelations.

To the messenger of the church in Laodicea, he said, “You do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.”

God allows different situations to arise in our lives that will expose what lies are hidden in our hearts. Through the years, we have stored many unpleasant memories in our hearts as a result of the difficult experiences we have had with different people. They lie hidden at the bottom of our hearts- and we imagine that our hearts are clean. Then God allows some small thing to happen, that stirs up all this rotten stuff and brings them all into our minds. That is the time we must cleanse ourselves and forgive the people involved and decide to love them.

Be occupied with the riches of God’s grace- and not with your own accomplishments, or with the failures of your fellow believers.

Personal Reflection:
How must we grow in humility and wisdom?
