How are you? “Better than I deserve.” Now that’s a reply (when taken to heart) that’s indicative of a mature perspective. It not only helps us remember where we have come from [fallen, broken, and needy], it also places us in a place of grace [i.e., ill-deserved favor], and makes us thankful for where we are and what we have. Moreover, if we can maintain that perspective, it will likely take us far in the future. A thankful person is a humble person. A humble person is dependent on God and others. When we recognize our dependence on others we tend to love them more and to offer our gratitude and service to them. Maturity knows its place.
