Don't Compare

1 Cor 15:10 ~"But by the grace of God I am what I am"~

Psalm 139:14 ~"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."~

Proverbs 14:30 ~ "A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones."~

How many of *y’all know that we should never compare ourselves to others. When we compare ourselves to others it can lead to envy, which opens the door to many other sins. For example, many people in the Bible hurt others because they compared themselves and became envious of others, (exhibit A ‘Cain and Abel’). Be happy with what you have accomplished instead of comparing yourself to someone else, if you must compare, compare where you used to be and where you are now. Think about how Jesus delivered you from that fast track to hell. Be thankful for your blessings and watch how much more he will bestow on you for being content with what he has already done for you. It’s okay to use someone’s success to motivate you to reach a goal, but stop measuring yourself by worldly standards, because *’y’all know satan is the master of ‘the world’ and his primary mission is to make you feel inadequate in his world. Ever since I became saved I have joy and peace in my life that I never experienced before. I am content with what God has given me and I don’t sit around thinking about what I don’t have. Bottom-line is when you have Jesus in your life you won’t sit around comparing yourself to others because you are fearfully and wonderfully made” in his eyes.

Can anyone out there relate?

Be Blessed *Y’all.
