We are displaced from our true home in the heavens, we are physically dying daily, we are persecuted from without, and yet we maintain a “living hope” (1 Peter 1:3).
On the supreme judicial scale of God, righteousness is the only thing with any mass to it. Man is incapable of bestowing righteousness to himself, it is a gift from God, both through imputation at salvation and impartation during sanctification. In all cases, God adds righteousness to His own scales on man's behalf (Pr 16:8-11). Gloria in excelsis Deo ("Glory to God in the highest").
One of my greatest hesitations nowadays - I almost wrote “fear” - is forming new relationships, especially intimate ones. Why? Because there’s a good chance I will be in pain shortly after opening my heart up to another human being. People break my heart. And for the record, I’m not saying that I don’t break theirs (I’m sure I do)...
A lesser arrogance may even try to extract leaven from already cooked bread, which is futility.
