Your Past Does Not Define You | God Is Still Writing Your Story

Main message: True humility is thinking of yourself less, submitting your life and past to God's authority, and living in reverent dependence so God can bless and honor your story. You can face and own your past without letting it define your future.

Key points:

• Humility is not low self-esteem but placing others before yourself (examples with spouses and children).
• Humility must include the fear of the Lord — submission to God's Word and authority, not just outward piety.
• God honors people who submit their story to Him rather than trying to erase or hide their past.
• Your name or past records what happened to you but does not have to determine who you become before God.
• Face and name your struggles honestly, own your mistakes, and let that be the starting point for change rather than a permanent label.

Scriptures mentioned: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 (Jabez's prayer)
