Some folks go to great lengts to hide their humble origins. We often think we should mask the truth of our past
lest people think less of us - especially if our today is more respectable than our yesterday. But the truth is,
when we peel off our mask, others are usually not repelled; they are drawn closer to us. Great men and women are no
exception:
with Moses, it was murder
with Elijah, it was deep depression
with Peter, it was public denial
with Samson, it was recurring lust
with Thomas, it was cynical doubting
with Jacob, it was deception
with Rahab, it was prostitution
Be aware, let's admit it, their weaknesses keeping us all on the same level - recepients of GRACE. Even those who
are extolled and admired have weaknesses in their life too.
