I don’t
know why we, as members of the Church, constantly envy or compete for the
appearance of righteous superiority or do any of the other very natural-man
mechanisms of comparison. After all,
when someone else is doing something well, that does nothing but strengthen the
work and bring glory to God. We, of all
people, should encourage and build those around us to achieve more and greater
righteousness.
In the
eternities, should we be blessed to receive all that the Lord stands to give to
us, we will find ourselves spending our existence building up others. When those within our sphere of influence
accomplish something, that is a sign that we are doing what we should. Why
should that approach only begin post-mortality?
We should look to spend all of our time building up others, and when they
achieve something we truly should look at that as demonstrating the glory of
God.
