The Thief of Everythingਨਮੂਨਾ

Have you ever had a moment where you felt like you didn’t compare? Maybe you felt like everyone else’s marriage was going great while you and your spouse were struggling to communicate. Or perhaps you got passed up for a promotion, and it left you wondering if you were even good at your job in the first place. Maybe it was your house, or your kids, or your salary—whatever it was, that comparison left you feeling plain and simply like you’d never measure up. With a worldly perspective, it’s so easy to believe that our value is based solely on what we do, what we earn, what we have, or what we get in comparison to others. But the good news is that’s not the only perspective we have!

When we choose to see ourselves the way God sees us, when we decide to adopt that perspective, we’ll find ourselves with a new way of seeing things. Because God notices every detail about who we are. And with that, God believes those details matter. They’re essential, they’re intentional, and they’re part of the life God has uniquely given to each of us. So, when you start to feel less important in comparison to others, shift your focus to what God thinks and says about you. Remember that, to God, you could not be any more valuable than you already are. With that perspective, you never have to worry about measuring up.
