So often, we look at others and compare ourselves to them. And often, we
come up short. We look and say, "Oh she's 25 and she's done this, this,
this and this. Or we watch people who "have it all together" and we
begin to get down on ourselves. We find any number of ways to compare
ourselves to the next sister - and come up short....STOP!
There's a saying that the grass is always greener on the other
side.....Well, their water bill is higher too. And guess what? You can
have green grass also IF you seed, water and fertilize your lawn.
You can't have what somebody else has if you're not willing to go
through what they went through. But, that's another matter. Stop
comparing yourself to others. Love YOU!!!!
Each of us has our own thorns. Be it weight, single-parenting, job
dissatisfaction, husband problems, financial distress, children woes,
over-worked/underpaid issues, loneliness, confusion, self-doubt, etc.
You've got to love you, and if you can't do that right now, At least
quit comparing yourself to others, because you don't know what they are
going through.
Someone will always be prettier. They will always be smarter. Their
house will be bigger. They will drive a better car. Their children will
do better in school. And their husband will fix more things around the
house. So let it go, and love you and your circumstances. Think about
it. The prettiest sister in the world can have Hell all up in her heart.
And the most highly favored sister on your job may be unable to have
children. And the richest sister you know - she's got the car, the
house, the clothes - might be lonely. And the word says if I have not
Love, I am nothing.
So, again, love you. Love who you are right now and let God be your
barometer. Mirror Him. Look in the mirror in the morning and see how
much God you see. He's the only standard, and even when you come up
short, he will not leave you or forsake you.
Smile and may God continue to BLESS YOU Real GOOD!!
"I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!"
The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance
between your knees and the floor.
"The one who kneels to God can stand up to anything."
"Winners make things happen. Losers let things happen."
