Comparisons

Comparisons

How can I stop comparing myself to others?

God’s Response

When others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad, share their sorrow. Romans 12:15

Why do you condemn another Christian? Why do you look down on another Christian? Remember, each of us will stand personally before the judgment seat of God. . . . Yes, each of us will have to give a personal account to God. Romans 14:10, 12

Let’s face it. Most of the time we compare ourselves to others to convince ourselves that we are better looking, smarter, more skilled, or better off. This puts the focus on ourselves. Instead, put yourself in the other person’s shoes and attempt to feel as they do. That way, when they succeed, you can genuinely celebrate with them and when they fail, you can empathize. Remember, we are all worthy because Jesus paid a high price for us.

God’s Promise

How precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumerable! Psalm 139:17
