The Practice Of Comparing

Ourselves With Others Is

So Common In Today's

Society That It's Difficult

To Imagine How Not To

Do It. Our Bodies, Children,

Salaries, Spouses And Houses

Are All Fair Game.



Yet Our Reason For Com-

paring Remains A Mystery.



Rarely Does It Bring Anything

But Misery.



If, In Our Minds, We Domi-

nate The Subject Of Our Com-

parison, We Can Easily Be

Swallowed Up By Pride.



If We Don't Measure Up

Favorably, Our Self-Esteem

Suffers A Severe Blow, Neither

Option Brings Glory To God.



Paul Suggests That We

Focus Instead On Our Own

Responsibilities.



Are We Faithfully Living For

God And Fulfilling Our Re-

sponsibilities Before Him?



Ask Yourself Now:



Am I Living Up To MY

Potential?



Is My Love For Christ AS

Deep As It Could Be?
