It has been six years since I accepted God's salvation of the last days.

To have been elected as a leader from among so many brothers and sisters

to have responsibility for all of the church's work,

this shows that I'm better than other brothers and sisters!

With this thought, in spite of myself, a sense of superiority welled up within me.

I walked about with head high and chest out,

and I was very confident in communications with brothers and sisters at gatherings.

I saw that a sister who worked with me was of high caliber,

with a clear train of thought in communicating the truth.

She was able to come to grips with the questions posed by brothers and sisters

The brothers and sisters all wanted to hear her communication.

before each gathering, I homed in on the condition of the brothers and sisters

I racked my brains to figure out ways to communicate that were more complete

and I saw the brothers and sisters nodding with approval,

I was very pleased with myself and felt a sense of achievement.

If I saw that the reaction of the brothers and sisters was flat,

I discovered that a brother who partnered with me

was relatively familiar with knowledge of the film industry

I saw that the brothers and sisters who worked together in making gospel films

would often discuss some questions of a professional nature with him,

and I, a responsible church member, couldn't get a word in edgewise.

I felt that I was superfluous to requirements, pushed to one side.

I felt that I had worked very hard, and I was left with a bad taste.

I suspected that the brothers and sisters all communicated with him

Did they feel that I wasn't as good as he was?

If only I had this professional knowledge, it would be a lot better.

Wouldn't the brothers and sisters then come to me to discuss any problems they had?

I would work from dawn to dusk searching for related materials,

While I never grew tired of seeking and keeping busy for the sake of status,

problems appeared continuously in the work of each of the church's teams.

No matter how I set up meetings and communicated, it was all in vain.

What will the brothers and sisters think of me?

Won't they feel that I as their leader have no qualifications,

It appears that my position as leader can't be maintained.

The more I thought about it, the worse I felt.

I was feeling like a deflated rubber ball.

Because I was constantly in a slack, negative state,

I eventually lost the work of the Holy Spirit.

I was replaced because I couldn't do practical work.

At that moment, I felt thoroughly discredited,

dying to find some crevice to crawl into.

Could the brothers and sisters be saying behind my back that I'm a false leader,

scrambling for fame and gain and not doing practical work?

The more I thought along these lines, the more distressed I became,

as if a chorus of critical voices were echoing in my ears.

I would lie in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep a wink.

All I could do was to repeatedly pray to God,

appealing to Him to lead me, to guide me.

The word of God exposed the substance of my pursuit of fame, gain, and status,

but instead pursuing fame, gain, and status.

This was entirely under the control of my own satanic nature of arrogance and conceit.

I thought that in carrying out my leadership duties with the church,

Every time I met with brothers and sisters to communicate the word of God,

it was not to hold God up high, to bear witness to God,

to enable brothers and sisters to understand the truth of God's word,

to know how to practice and enter into the reality of God's words.

How could I do a better job of communicating than my partner sister

so that I could get the brothers and sisters to praise and admire me?

I tried to plant my own image in the minds of the brothers and sisters,

I saw that my partner brother's professional abilities were superior to mine

and that whatever questions the brothers and sisters had,

they would seek out and communicate with him.

I felt jealous of him, so I excluded him,

desperately fearing that the brother would steal my thunder, hog the limelight.
