I'm Above You

Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
I have had some interactions with some pretty snooty people.  Sadly, it was either someone who had money or a Christian.  Of course, not all people who have a bur stuck someplace are well off or a Christian, but I’ve had more problems with Christians than I have non-Christians.  Just because you feel you’ve got your life in order, doesn’t make you better than everyone else.  One way or another, we all sin and we do it every single day; that puts us all in the same boat.  You may be realizing the stuff in your life you need to get rid of while another person may still not get it.  This just means you’re sitting at a different spot in the boat, but still in the same boat.  God is at the head of the boat giving us directions and we as Christians need to be His hands and feet and take up the rowing positions to help others around us make it through life and see the direction God is taking them.     
Proverbs 16:18 “First pride, then the crash— the bigger the ego, the harder the fall.”
