“God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars.” ― Elbert Hubbard*
Medals and degrees puff us up with pride if we think it makes us better or more knowledgeable than others. Scars are what Jesus left this earth with, and it is what we will leave with if we are truly following Him. What God calls us to is nitty gritty work, and we get pretty banged up doing it.
*I do not agree with Elbert's other writings where he compared modern day writers with prophets, but I do believe this statement is accurate.
