We can’t allow the Christians who have been working at their relationship with God longer than others to get all puffed up with self-righteousness and chase off the newcomers. If you’re a longtimer and you’ve been sweating it out in the fields of faith for years, you should still be grateful for the grace you’ve received. With the proper mind-set, you should even be glad to see people getting it more easily than you did. Grace is a steal at any price.
