NO COMPARISON

TO COMPARE, IS TO IMPAIR

 Daily build up your confidence in yourself- and in your God too. Comparisons will do you one of these two things: Either it takes you to the bosom of self pity and doubt or the abattoir of pride. When you compare yourself with people seemingly better than you, doubt sets in; and, in the words of William Shakespeare, “Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good that we oft may win by fearing to attempt.”

 

Franklin Roosevelt was of the opinion: “The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today”. Always remember the words of Alexander Dumas who said, “A person who doubts himself is like a man who enlists in the ranks of his enemy and bear arms against himself” - nothing could be more disastrous than that. The bloodiest wars have always been civil wars.

 

Pride is not any kinder. When you keep comparing yourself to those you think you are better than, pride sets in. Never forget, God hates pride! Apostle Peter wrote in his epistle, “God resists the proud (1Pet.5:5). King Solomon said, “When pride cometh, then cometh shame (Prov.11:2KJV). He went further to observe: “Pride goes before destruction (Prov.16:18KJV). Jeremiah himself prophesied, “The proud shall stumble and fall; and none shall raise him up (Jer.50:32).
