Here’s a thing:
Christ arrived here not just for the pius and good, but for the filth and scum of the earth. Remember that no matter how little value you place on someone, the Creator sees differently.

And if the pious do not do something to help the helpless, he did not have much time for them either.
Brother Og, a belated Merry Christmas to you and yours.
And certainly, thank you for the perspective, here. Indeed, true. Brings to mind the raw fact that even the most “righteous” among us, are found of sin just as foul as the lowliest drug fueled crack whore on skid-row.
But for the fact that Christ bore our punishments with him on the cross, paid the price for our sin, and then, in HIS Righteousness, breaking the chains of death, and bringing us into life with Him and His Resurrection.
Yep, we’d be in a pickle now, wouldn’t we?
I’ll try to remember your admonishment here a bit better, through the coming year.

That is an excellent reminder.
