Many people have a tendency to compare themselves to others. They do so by saying, “I don’t speak like that person.” Or, “I can’t sing like that person.” You get the idea.
Well, you can take some pressure off of yourself because God doesn’t expect you to be better than another person. God expects you to be yourself. Be your best.
Someone has said, “You are not accountable for being the best, but you are accountable for being your best.”
I read a little poem recently that highlights the importance of doing your best.
“If you can’t be a highway, then just be a trail;
If you can’t be the sun, be a star;
It isn’t by size that you win or you fail---
Be the best of whatever you are.”
So, are you doing your best? You may have a tendency to compare yourself to others and say, “I’m not as talented as they are.” God doesn’t expect you to be like that person. You need to be yourself.
God has given you unique gifts and abilities. Use them for God’s glory.
