Courting God’s favour

Being told the truth about myself often hurts. A parable is a kind way of telling the truth about life. The story draws me in, makes me think and respond to the truth. Today I might be thinking about God’s favour and if it is possible for me to lose God’s favour, (not his love.) The wicked servants greatly sinned. All sin is a great offence to God. Does my pride and ingratitude allow me to think my little sins do not hurt others and God?
