Comparisons

Have you ever looked at another girl and thought, "Wow! I wish I looked like her"? Or "Man! I wish I could sing like her!" Well, I have thought that many, many times. I have laid awake at night planning a diet that I could go on just so I could come somewhat close to looking like another girl. But ya know what? It never works. I always end up eating too much chocolate or having one coke too many. I always fail. But you know what? God did not fail when He made us. Ecclesiastes 3:11a says that God has made everything beautiful in HIS time! He made us just the way we are and for a specific purpose. Even if we think we aren't as pretty or as talented as someone else, we are absolutely gorgeous in God's sight. He also does not want us to compare ourselves to other people. Don't look at someone else and wish that you could be like them. Look at Christ and wish to be like Him. He is our ultimate example of what a person should want to be. Never compare yourself to other people. Compare yourself to Christ!
