“The highest act of love is the giving of the best gift, and, if necessary, at the greatest cost, to the least deserving... At the loss of His Son's life to the totally undeserving, God gave the best gift - the display of the glory of Christ who is the image of God.”
-John Piper

Why, in the church, do we excuse our sins as personality traits?
This is why we need to be reminded daily, the sacrifice God made for us. May we never forget his goodness and our lack of righteousness without Him.
Even when you may feel insignificant, God has called you to something significant, and that is to draw people to Him. Your significance comes from what He has given you not from what you think you are.
