Whose PIP are you?

We are all thieves of grace and mercy and it is what we do with that grace and mercy, that link us to the grace of God. God has apprenticed us to Himself. We either reflect His glory, in the attainment of wealth and fame, or we reflect His condescension and humility, thus being beggars and receivers. When God makes us His PIP, either through the means of earthly, or heavenly means, what is it that we do with it. Ms. Haversham, took the glory to herself and her end was seen in the flames. "Are you not beholden to me for choosing you from among the wretches?" She saw herself as worthy of the graces and mercies that she received and she taunted the soul of the bereaved and the orphaned and her end was destruction. Those whose sin was evident and blatant, received the prayers of the orphans. Amazing Grace is accessible to the needy, but inaccessible to the self righteous. You can break his heart, was the haughty thought of the rich lady. I pray that her soul was saved erelong. Whenever we take it to break a heart for sport, especially the afflicted heart, we stand in the utmost pride. God have mercy on us.
