Saturday, June 12, Comparisons

I struggle with comparing myself to others in every aspect of my life. My Christian walk, work, home, yard, cars, talents, skills, are all compared to someone else. It is difficult for me to accept myself as a creation of God with my own abilities to be used for Him. Others are so much more skilled or talented than I am. Yet He created me for His use and I must choose to accept myself since He accepts me. He has a plan and a use for me. Reading the Bible daily and communicating with Him helps me to focus on being what He wants ME to be and not to look at others. When I start looking at others, Satan has an open door to put me down and tell me I am a failure.
