STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS!


This is the starting point.  Comparing is the Root of Envy.  Unfortunately, from about the time we each began to walk,  we also began to compare.  Can you remember all those times you complained that your brother or sister got more chocolate than you? We grow up comparing everything,  Appearance,  Grades in School,  Athletic Ability, and other Talents.  As adults we. Compare,   Clothes, Cars,  Homes,  How much we earn,  and a thousand other things.  But God says such comparisons are foolish.  The Bible says, ". When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves to themselves,  they show how foolish they are.

Why is it foolish to compare yourself with Others?  Because you are  Incomparable ! So is everyone else.  God made each of us   " One of a kind ". Besides,  comparing leads to one  Negative. Reactions,   Pride &. Envy. You can always find someone you think you're better than,  and you will be Prideful. On the Other hand,  you will always find people that you think are doing better than you, and you will become envious and discouraged.  What matters is not who's better off,  but are you doing what God created you to do?  Are you making the most of what you've been given?   God doesn't  You for your talents you don't have or opportunities, you didn't. get.  He evaluates Your Faithfulness By what You lived and what  You did with what You were given.

Remember. This,  God has not called you to be the Best in the World at anything,  He has called you to be the best you can be,  given Your Background,  Experiences Opportunities, and Abilities.  So ...... Decide right now that you are going to break the Habit of Comparing Yourself to Others.  It will take some time,  but you. can train yourself to refocus on something else whenever you are tempted to compare.  Just tell Yourself. ". I'm. Not. Going. To. Go. Down. That. Path ". and. Start. Thinking. Of. Something. Else.
