"We're all like this at times. We list the things we have accomplished for God as though they were our credentials; as though our identity were dependent upon people recognising what we have done. But the only credential that is important in the kingdom of God is that our names are written in heaven. We are sons and daughters of God. Whether we were missionaries or not has nothing to do with how God views us. He may be pleased with our diligent service, but that doesn't elevate us to the status of a privileged child. He is an impartial God and loves all His children equally.
Learn to derive your identity from the fact that you are a child of God, not from the fact that you are a missionary."
Peter Jordan, Re-Entry, "Final Approach".
