That self-pity did not exist in his handbook was said about the diseased person at his funeral.

That made me think about my handbook, my guidebook, the Bible. The Bible is the guidebook to everlasting life.

THE BIBLE, MY GUIDEBOOK TO EVERLASTING LIFE.

Precious promises coming to my mind. Here are some I know froM memory:

First John  1:9 : “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

First Corinthian 3:11

Second Corinthians 3:17

Second Chronicles 20:12

James 4:2

Colossians 1:17

First John 3:8

Revelation 12:11

Jeremiah 8:9

Micah 7:7: “But as for me,  I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior, my God will hear me.”

I am not familiar with the handbook of the diseased person, but I know that the Bible is my guidebook. And is it not almost impossible to pity oneself in an exaggerated manner with all those precious promises in the Scriptures? That is the definition of self-pity.

I think it is.
