If I be lifted up

Tozer writes ” God saves a criminal not so he might tell about it once a year for the next 40 years but so that He might become a saint. God takes him out of his bondage that He might lead that person into the promised land. And the farther in the man goes, the less he will have to say about what he used to be. It is not the mark of spirituality when I talk at length about what I used to be.” I could not agree more with what Tozer says.
I have found this to be true in my own life. It is not so much what the Lord delivered me out of, but more so what the Lord delivered me into. He delivered me into a royal priesthood. The focus of my life is not where I came from but where I am now and where I am going. When I speak too much of where I came from I am speaking about myself and the devil. When I speak about who delivered me and what He delivered me into my focus is on Jesus and if He be lifted up, then all men shall be drawn unto Him and glorify Him.
