Grace Church

Comparison is a tough one for me. I have spent a good portion of my life trying to the best everything. As you may have guessed, I am a champ at comparison. How else do you know you are the best? Terrible.

I am thankful for the truth in Galatians 2:21. I forget that comparison is really an insult to the finished work of Jesus. When I give into the temptation to compare my talents, my dreams, my shortcomings, my strengths, my accomplishments, and on and on, with others I nullify the grace of God that is sufficient and already completely extended to me in Jesus. It is good for me to recognize this as the sin it is. It is pride. And I want to hate that and cling to the truth.I have an identity already established in Jesus. And it’s way better than any man could give me. We can be found and identified in Jesus! What a gift!
