Pride Stinketh :)

If ever in life we have the notion to consider ourselves better than others, we need to take a step back. (Me included!) Paul says it best in 2 Corinthians 10: 7, 18 "You are looking only on the surface of things. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as he. For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends." Although at times we may like to commend ourselves in our own minds and puff ourselves up above others, really we must remember that if we belong to the Lord, we belong to Him equally as His children. We are a family of believers after all. We may be growing in Him at different speeds but this doesn't mean any person has the right to consider himself better than another. That's pride...and it stinketh. :)
