Never lose sight of the fact that you are unique, one of a kind and no duplicate. You were not mass produced but customized, created with the competencies and capabilities which you require to fulfil the plan God so lovingly picked out for you. You are not a consequence or a coincidence: remind you or anyone who thinks you are that you are God’s masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made, intentionally created different and His special plan for you does not look like anyone else’s.
So, why compare yourself with others? Why think your identity depends on being who someone else is or having what someone else has? Why covet their personality, calling or gift when God who created you differently for a reason will unveil His purpose to and work fervently with you to fulfil it. Remember why your talents and strengths are different and stop downgrading the unique qualities He has blessed you with.
STOP comparing and competing for you gain nothing by doing so. Do not allow the devil to steal your joy, damage your self-esteem and relationships. Comparing leaves you proud or bitter, makes you compete rather than cooperate. Stop comparing and start appreciating, embrace the real you so your self-worth can rise.
If you must compare at all, compare yourself to yourself yesterday, last year and/or measure yourself by God’s standard.
