When you die… Wow he was so much like ________

 

We all battle with comparison. 

But when you get to heaven God is not going to say “how come you were not more like your brother, your neighbor, the movie star, the people on instagram…. 

He may in fact say “how come you were not the person I created you to be”. 

 

you know why you can’t compare yourself? Because there is only one of you. There is no Garth 1.0 that can be compared to the Garth 2.0!

 

My focus should be on Jesus, and when we compare we are not looking at Jesus, but rather others. Thats the danger we take our eyes of Jesus. 

 

Galatians 6:4-5 the Message

Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.

 

 

   -  Don’t let others compare you

 

THE STORY WAS TOLD…

 

After her election the first Jewish woman President called her mother to invite her to the inauguration.  The mother agreed to come and when the great day arrived she was seated among Supreme Court Justices and Cabinet Members.  Just a short time into the solemn ceremony, she nudged the man to her left.  “You see that girl with her hand on the Bible?”  The mother said with great excitement.  “Her brother’s a doctor!” 

 

 

Parents? Spouse? Instagram? 

 

The Prophet Samuel was even fooled by appearances when he went to Jesses house to find the new King. 

 

Why would I listen to someone else’s comparison of me when they don’t know Gods plan for me?

 

Compare yourself only to what the Word of God says you are.
