Comparison's Evil

“For through the grace given to me I say to every man among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.” Romans 12:3

“And Jesus answered saying to them, ‘Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted him..” Mark 11:22-23

“...’But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!’ And Jesus said to him, ‘If You can!’ All things are possible to him who believes.’ Immediately the boy’s father cried out and began saying, ‘I do believe; help thou my unbelief.’” Mark 9:22b-24

God created you to be who you are and He loves you as you are. He saw and saved you as you are and He knows the truth of your heart. He gifted you to serve where He needs you, even when you do not see this and see others around you who are “better”. You cannot be someone else and comparing yourself with others can lead to heartache and much more.

“And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.” Genesis 4:8
