Galatians 6:4b (MSG) Don’t compare yourself with others.
Comparison triggers the fear that you don’t measure up and you are not enough. “It robs us of seeing the value in our influence and keeps us on a perpetual quest to be better than others” (Jenni Catron, Clout). What drives your motivation to do great things—God-given vision, or the need to impress people? These are two very different motivations. In the Lord’s final conversation with Peter, Peter asked, “What about him (John)?” Jesus responded: “What is that to you? Follow me!” Exchange comparison for focus—focus on what you’ve been given and what you’ve been called to do within the sphere of influence that God has given you. Each time comparison spring up, choose to replace it by focusing on the good things God is doing in and through you.
