Dare Not To Compare.
I have been reading "Searching for God Knows What" by Donald Miller and in one of his chapters he talks about the need that each of us have to compare ourselves to everyone around us. This longing or desire to rank ourselves based on people around us. He states that each of us are searching for fulfillment from someone or everyone in our world. Why do we do this? I know that he is right...I do this all the time. Most of the time I am not doing this to put anyone else down, I am just trying to place myself up. Miller blames this on the fall in the Garden, and that each of us are programed to find our place and fulfillment from God. In the Garden that happened and because of sin we don't automatically get that from God anymore.
I wonder what it would look like if we as a people looked to God for our place and fulfillment instead of each other. What would our world look like? Depression would not exsist...suicide would be just a word in a dictionary. Why aren't we telling everyone about this? I think that everyone would agree that this would be a good thing to learn. Think about it and try it yourself. Then tell someone else.
