Dare To Compare

YOU CAN ONLY BE YOU
You can't be your hero, your parent, or your big brother. You might imitate their golf swing or hair style, but you can't be them. You can only be you. All you have to give is what you've been given to give. Concentrate on who you are and what you have.

God never called you to be anyone other than you. But he does call on you to be the best you can be.

"Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life." Galatians 6:4-5 (msg)

Mark,

How true! Thanks for the wonderful reminder. As a parent, I need to remember this and not expect my kids to "perform" and "achieve" like perhaps their friends or other children at church or school. God made them unique and just like they are supposed to be. We spend far too much time trying to be like others, instead of developing our own selves.
