How do you end up feeling when you find yourself compared to others? If your anything like me all it leads to is discontentment and a sense of failure. Feeling like you don't measure up to others is never a good feeling. There has to be a better way to appreciate others success even though you haven't reached your own.
That better way is God. There is power in knowing who you are in the eyes of God. He has a plan for all of us and I know that I find comfort in that. I had to find out the hard way that my blessings might not show up when I want it, but I sure know they will show up! Its a beautiful to see my friends and family living their lives to the fullest and making dreams come true. But sometimes it can be hard when I look at my own life. I have to stop and remind myself that God has something bigger than I can even fathom waiting for me and I have to trust Him on the time.
1 Timothy 6:6-8
Now godliness with contentment is great gain.For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Than God for all the perfect gifts that he gives to us! The short-cut to contentment is gratitude. Being thankful provide us with and instant perspective change. So take a moment and figure out what are the things you can be thankful for eveyday.
