Have you tried comparing your life to the Beatitudes?
Poor in Spirit – not prideful – Humble before God and neighbors
Mourners who long to be comforted by the Holy Spirit
Meek – steadfast in following Christ – unshaken in your faith – yet not boastful in your ability to follow Christ.
Hunger and Thirst after righteousness – a desire for truth and to do good continually
Merciful – kind in your rebukes of others – forgiving all (not to the point of robbing justice)
Pure in heart – Man/woman of your word –chaste – intending to do good always
Peacemaker – Kind in word and deed – shunning contention (not shunning competition)
Calm in the face of persecution and revilings
I see that I have a lot to work on myself.
BTW I am Mormon and I consider myself Christian trying to become Christ-like

Hey Dane -- I know there is always a bit of Irony when asking this kind of question. How can I say that I am trying to be Christ-like and ask this question at the same time. HMMMMMM
