The
comparison is part of human nature to compete with others is a
reflex, look what our neighbor is something current. But this is not
the attitude that God wants us to have. He created us so that we are
ourselves, with our own personality. He made each of us unique
creatures! And the worst behaviors we can have is to constantly
compare ourselves.
If
your destiny is different from that of your neighbor, this is normal:
God has a particular future for all of us. So He gives us each
different skills and gifts, and this is normal: we all have a
different goal to achieve.
You
feel that the destiny of your neighbor is better? Good for him! But
know that it is necessarily false because there is no better destiny
than that which God has planned for your life. If you think that your
neighbor is better lives, you are mistaken! He saw the plan that God
has planned for him, and this plan is different from yours. This is
why it is pointless to compare. God has made each of us unique,
and we should be proud of our differences, they are our charm, our
values, they make us exceptional beings.
COMPARE
OURSELVES TO OTHERS OFTEN LEADS US TO WANT TO BE LIKE THE OTHER,
RATHER THAN TRYING TO IMITATE GOD, IT STIFLES OUR PERSONALITY AND
DISTANCES US FROM GOD BLESSINGS. IN FACT, IF WE GO INTO THE MOLD OF
OUR SOCIETY, WE CAN NO LONGER FOLLOW THE PATH THAT GOD HAS MARKED OUT
FOR US. LEARN TO ACCEPT OURSELVES AS WE ARE, WITHOUT LOOKING AT WHAT
OTHER PEOPLE LIVE; ACCEPT THIS LIFE WITH JESUS IN WHICH FIND
SALVATION, GRACE, GOD FAVOR. WE DO NOT COMPARE OURSELVES, BUT TO
RECEIVE FROM GOD! THIS IS THE BEST GIFT THAT YOU CAN GIVE US. LET US
COMPARE THE WORLD BECAUSE GOD HAS SET APART FOR HIS SERVICE. IF
GOD ACCEPTS US AS WE ARE, HE ALSO HAS THE DESIRE TO EVOLVE, HE WANTS
TO DEVELOP THE POTENTIAL HE HAS PLACED IN US. COMPARE OUR
APPROACH WITH THAT OF OUR NEIGHBOR BRINGS US TO MEDDLE IN WHAT DOES
NOT CONCERN US, IF I WERE HIM, I WOULD NOT BE DRIVING THE SAME WAY.
IN DOING SO, WE TAKE CARE OF THINGS THAT DO NOT CONCERN US, AND IT IS
NOT OUR ROLE. WE MUST FOLLOW JESUS AND NOT JUDGE THE BEHAVIOR OF OUR
NEIGHBOR. BY FOCUSING TOO MUCH ON THE FACT THAT YOUR OPINIONS DIFFER
FROM THOSE OF YOUR NEIGHBOR OR YOUR DESIGNS ARE DIFFERENT, YOU END UP
AWAY FROM GOD PLAN, PUTTING A DAMPER ON YOUR DEVELOPMENT. THE
MAIN THING IN OUR LIVES IS TO FOLLOW JESUS, AND REALIZE THE UNIQUE
PLAN GOD HAS FOR OUR LIVES!
