Are you comfortable in your own skin? In other words, do you
recognize yourself as the treasure God made you, or are you constantly looking
for approval and comparing yourself to a neighbor, co-worker or friend? Do you
try to out-dress them or out-perform them? Are you always looking for ways to
one-up others?
The bible says, “God has made us what we are. In Christ
Jesus, God made us new people so that we would spend our lives doing the good
things he had already planned for us to do.” Friend, it’s time to let all of
that go.
Comparison is a distraction. Comparison is a thief. It
steals your time, energy, focus and joy. You aren’t here to impress anybody;
you don’t have to prove anything, because you are God’s special workmanship. He
created you WITH a purpose and FOR a purpose. You are empowered and equipped to
do everything He’s called you to do.
If you will choose to stay free from a spirit of UNhealthy competition
and just run your own race in life, not only will you enjoy your life more, but
you’ll see your gifts and talents come out to the full. You’ll see His blessing
and favor in a greater way, and you’ll move forward into the life of success He
has in store!
