Dangerous Comparison Game!
Of course, we wouldn’t dare to put ourselves in the same class or compare ourselves with those who rate themselves so highly. They compare themselves to one another and make up their own standards to measure themselves by, and then they judge themselves by their own standards. What self-delusion! 2 Corinthians 10:12 TPT
Witnessing dysfunction in other people’s lives may make us more comfortable with our own, but this dangerous knowledge can also strip us of the motivation required to pursue a deeper level of transformation. You cannot point the finger at other people’s shortcomings to justify your own.
God has given each of us a certain measure of faith and power to have an incredible life. Each of us has an opportunity to dust off the shame, fear, and pain that threatened to bury us and reemerge with strength and tenacity. Resist the Urge to Lower Your Expectations. Moving on takes effort, intentionality, and discipline. Excuses are comfort zones. Life is never short on excuses. Leave the comfort that comes from comparison and strive forward and upward.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostate Ashok Martin
