If Bernie was anyone else say a non believer. He could have felt cheated or resentful. But recognizing and knowing God's grace is being shed on him he accepts no credit for him SELF. The path is narrow and the door is small. Few will ever find this door. If you hope to get through at all, you must leave self behind. Self will not fit through this door. Self belongs on the broad road with the wide door many will try to enter through this door First, the committed Christian is preoccupied and absorbed with his Lord's glory. The very purpose for which we exist is to give glory to God, so it is right that this is the first mark of a committed Christian. He is concerned only with living to give glory to God. He's not concerned about himself. He's not preoccupied with his own glory. He's not worried about what brings honor to him. He's not on a popularity binge. He's not trying to climb the ladder, to get something bigger and better for himself. His greatest concern is His Lord's glory. He lives so that whatever he does brings glory to his Lord. He realizes that it doesn't matter what people think of him, but only that they glorify God. His motive, his theme, his goal, his reason, his purpose is to give the Lord glory in everything he does. His life reflects the attributes of God, and God is praised by the way he lives. God has a plan for everyone. If Bernie was anyone else say a non believer. He could have felt cheated or resentful.
