"Good Kid" Mentality

Before I start this new post, I have to say that I'm a complete dummy when it comes to computers. Today, YPD spent along time trying to help me "fix" my blog. Well, after trying many different things we came to a conclusion, I had been using the wrong username. So, thanks Dave for helping me "fix" my problem!

So many times I look at the world around me and see all the kids messing up their lives and think that I'm better than them. I may not say it, but I've thought it. A couple of weeks ago, YPD started talking about this "good kid" mentality. It is easy to think this way considering most of us don't drink, smoke, or sleep around. But just because we're not "in the world" doesn't mean that we don't sin. God sees all sin the same, no one greater than the other. While I was thinking about this, God brought me to the passage in Isaiah where Isaiah saw a vision of God. He saw God's greatness and his insignificance. He said that he was undone before the Lord. As I was reading this I realized how many times I take my eyes off of God. Instead of looking at people, I need to be looking at my Savior. It is when we see the greatness of God, that we see ourselves as we really are- undone. But what an awesome thought that God would let us see ourselves as we really are so we can change to become more like Him. It's in those low moments of life that God's grace becomes more real to me.
