If God has
called you to be really like Jesus, He will draw you into a life of crucifixion
and humility, and put upon you such demands of obedience that you will not be
able to follow other people or measure yourself by other Christians, and in
many ways He will seem to let other good people do things which He will not let
you do…
The Lord may
let others be honored and put forward, and keep you in hidden obscurity,
because He wants to produce some choice, fragrant fruit for His coming glory,
which can only be produced in the shade. He may let others do work for Him and
get the credit for it, but He will make you work and toil on without knowing
how much you are doing; and then to make your work still more precious, He may
let others get the credit for the work which you have done, and thus make you
reward ten times greater when Jesus comes.
From the Book:
How to Smell like God
