I ran across this quote from a guy named Jean Pierre Camus worth thinking about. He says, "He who believes himself to be far advanced in the spiritual life has not even made a good beginning."
We all know people like that. But I don't think that's the point of the quote. The point is we need to examine our own spiritual attitudes. I've come to believe that there really is no such thing a "Christian maturity"... only maturing Christians.
When I look at the road ahead, looking back at how far I've come doesn't seem like such a great a distance after all. When we think of ourselves as "far advanced" it's because we compare our selves to ourselves (or worse, others) rather than the goal--which is Christ.
