you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,
Colossians 3:9-10

"Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased him."
Isaiah 51:2

I am a new man in Christ
I am a son of the Patriarch Abraham

God is giving me


Deference


Limiting my freedom in order to respect the tastes of those God has called me to serve.


Because I have a heavenly focus, transitory gratification does not compel me to run over personal relationships.

I gladly forgo today things I am entitled to, in order to preserve friendships for the future.


Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
-- Romans 8:30

My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
-- Psalm 119:48
