That's not the end of the world or your relationship. If you pay more attention to how you disagree than you do the issues, you'll probably come out all right in the end. Sometimes, however, it does parallel the wisdom of experience. I think also it is a spiritual gift. Spiritual maturity is caring more about the things of God than you do about the things that please you.
Spiritual maturity is control over the ego that wants to take the credit and get the attention.
No telling what we could accomplish for God if we did not care who got the credit. Spiritual maturity is reading the Word of God with a fresh eye every time and casting away previous conclusions. In short, spiritual maturity is the continuing unfolding in your life of the fruit of the Spirit, Gal. This mailing list is open to all Christians via Internet e-mail and most fax destinations.
