"Thus you bear witness against yourselves
that you are the children of those who murdered the prophets;
now fill up what your ancestors measured out!”
(Matthew 23:31-32)
Recall your hardships of labor in the past that have produced nothing. You have worked day and night just so you can spend for your own pleasure. You have personally witnessed that such a wrongful behavior towards managing the fruits of your works has lead you to nowhere.
God removed your mask of false pretenses and deceitful acts and replaced them with an attitude that is centered on humility and simplicity. He treated you as a father treats his children. In His goodness and grace, He transformed your life of dissipation into a life of glory.
He continues to work in you so that you may not be beholden to anyone nor be a burden to anybody. Walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His Kingdom and glory. The Lord's hand shall guide you, and His right hand hold you fast. He makes you safe in your travels and journeys in life. Everywhere you go, He is already there. His presence is from where you are now to where you are going.
The Lord wants you to be clean not just on your outwardly appearance but moreover in your inmost being. There are no excuses for any wrongful works or doings. The Lord is the truth and the life, His Hand will always lead you to the truth and fullness of life.
