Compare Your Life With No One

Hello dearies, 

Have you ever had a moment in your life when you feel where you are is not where you should be? Have you ever looked at your peers, maybe high school mates or colleagues from the university and you feel your life seems far behind? Maybe you can't seem to measure up with them in what they have achieved?    

Hmmm! I would like to be sincere. I do. I do worry that it seems I have wasted some years being nonchalant with my decisions and now am facing the consequences. However, I learnt something new yesterday that changed my perspective to life.      

I realised that from God's word I am not meant to compare myself with anyone. Everyone in life has different course set for them by God and the pace with which it should be run. I got to realize that my destiny in life is in His hands and all I need do is trust and follow him as he leads me through the path no matter the mistakes I have made in the past. I also learned that a man's life is not measured by what he possesses but by his rich relationship with the God he serves.  

That made me so grateful to God for where I am right now and the plans he has already set for me. With this joy in my heart, he taught me that the only thing I must compare my life with is His laws and commands. My life must reflect his laws; my conduct and conversation must reflect his commands; I must love my neighbours whether or not they love me,my words must be seasoned with salt, so I answer appropriately to anyone I speak with;I should give to those in need,honour my parents and honour God with the best of my life and resources he has given me. If I can do this, then daily my life will reveal his will and glory. I won't have to compare my life with anyone.  

So I encourage you my friends today, look back at your life and give God thanks. You are alive and have the reason to give thanks and be hopeful. Even if you feel you have wasted time, if you can trust him and obey his commands he will make things happen to you speedily.  

Stop comparing yourself with anyone. You are unique and there is no one on earth like you. Your destiny in life is meant for you and not for anyone. Pursue God and be careful only to measure your life with his commands and nothing or no one else. Stay strong my friends. 

Ciao
