We all battle with comparison. 
But when you get to heaven God is not going to say “how come you were not more like your brother, your neighbor, the movie star, the people on instagram…. 
He may in fact say “how come you were not the person I created you to be”. 
 
you know why you can’t compare yourself? Because there is only one of you. There is no Garth 1.0 that can be compared to the Garth 2.0!
 
My focus should be on Jesus, and when we compare we are not looking at Jesus, but rather others. Thats the danger we take our eyes of Jesus. 
 
Galatians 6:4-5 the Message
Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.

Compare yourself only to what the Word of God says you are.
