Shay and Colette Carl

A verse in Scripture that impacted me deeply and one that I often share is 2 Corinthians 10:12, which says, When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding (NASB). For me, when I pastored a church, would I let the larger size of another mans church bother me, causing me to conclude I was less important? Would I measure my worth based on the greater number of people who attended his church? Peter had this comparison problem with John, and Jesus said to him, What is that to you? You follow Me! I had to focus on my own life and not measure my worth based on my comparison with another. The same applies to a mother who watches another mother who seems to do everything right, or a husband who learns of a peer who just purchased a second home in the mountains. These comparisons can put us on a roller-coaster ride of negative emotions, as Rachel Cruze profoundly addresses in Love Your Life, Not Theirs . Each of us must learn to love the life God has given us. Otherwise we will make decisionsespecially financial onesto keep up with the Joneses.
