Recently, I was challenged by someone's life and it made me think. No matter how much training you receive, it still doesn't make you better than the next person.

The Lord showed me myself and it wasn't good. He showed me that I think to highly of myself. I think I am above people when I am no better!! It doesn't matter how much training I've gotten if I'm not doing anything with it!! Extra training does not mean that you're better than anyone!!

This entire thing came about because I viewed this person as someone not as spiritually mature as me. I was comparing this person to some people I knew, plus those people had been to some of the same camps and conferences so I was placing this person in that category. I expected this person to act a certain way when that's not how it should be. I was checking out their resume but I was looking at the wrong one! I was checking the external verses the internal!

Your growth in Christ is not determined by the amount of events you've been apart of, it's about a true heart filled relationship with the Lord!! You're just like everyone else that think they're Christians if the only thing you're worried about is what looks good to the human eye.

Who is right in God's sight:
          the person that's "on s/he face daily before the Lord"
                                       OR
          the person that's "been to all of the conferences, mission trips and etc."

God truly showed me my heart and humbled me!
