Examining your work

I was reading Galations 6 this evening. I like the way Paul worded verse 4. "But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another." How often do we examine our work? For me it is not often enough. When I do look back at a situation, most of the time I can't say "Wow! I handled that the way Jesus would have done it". Even when I feel that I am following God's calling, this verse reminds me that I am not to boast about it. God has choosen our cross to bear in life. My cross is specific to me, yours is specific to you. We can not compare them.
