Compare Not

There are times that some of us sit around and chew someone up and boil them down to one word that we can just spit out. That is so AWFUL. But I confess that I have done it. It accomplishes nothing good. As a matter of fact...we need to refrain from that exercise.

Why do we compare ourselves to others?
Maybe we are jealous
Maybe we are insecure
Maybe we don't feel good about ourselves
Maybe we find a flaw in their character so that we can feel better about ourselves.
Maybe we are spoiled
Maybe we are listening to the Devil's whispers

Why shouldn't we compare ourselves to others.
Psalm 139:14 (NIV) I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 
God made us to be the exact person we are. We have a unique finger print from anyone who has or will be born. Doesn't that blow your mind!
To compare ourselves to others can make us feel of less worth.
To compare ourselves to others can fool us to make us think we are more valuable than someone else.
We should focus on being the best me God made us to be!
We should use our mouths to bless and pray for people--not bless them out!

God, I need HELP!
This is a prayer. I desire to worship God and bless people. I want to be a better listener. I desire eyes to see those hurting around me. (But I need God to help me want this more--I am very selfish!) Let my feet follow the path you choose for me, O Lord.
