Compare 比較
是的，比較似乎已經成為常態。
看比自己厲害的是學習、看比自己弱的是警惕。
從小就在父母的比較下成長，
誰誰家的孩子這好那好、你怎麼不像人家？
長大了，還是沒有停止，人家工作賺多少、
人家老公賺多少、人家孩子多高多胖、人家孩子會這會那。我們被無止境的比較圍繞著，不知不覺也開始比較，雖然我非常不喜歡也不願意比較，確實潛意識裏在比較。朋友做什麼比我好，我不知不覺的心裡竟然會不太開心。
不過我很感恩因為至少我知道我在比較，如此也可以改進。只是這真的是一個不太容易棄掉的壞習慣！這是我最不想要帶給孩子的，而我也是在神不知鬼不覺之中把這帶給了孩子們。希望我自己能先改進，慢慢的孩子們也會明白比較是不好的事情。
比較真的會使我們做出錯誤的決定，也會非常影響關係。每個人都有自己厲害的地方，就算什麼都不厲害那也是上帝造我們要我們成為他要我們成為的人。我們應該靠著主不斷朝著主給我們的使命前行，而不是為了超越誰而前行。我們所做的是為了要成為上帝造我們所要成為的人。上帝怎麼看我們更勝於別人和我們自己怎麼看我們。
如果你也陷入比較中，願神幫助我們脫離，因為比較是很傷害的！
以下轉發Joel Osteen的每日讀經：
Today's Scripture
This made Saul very angry. “What’s this?” he said. “They credit David with ten thousands and me with only thousands. Next they’ll be making him their king!”
(1 Samuel 18:8, NLT)
Don’t Compare
Most of the time we’re happy with our lives until we start comparing. When Saul heard the people singing that David defeated tens of thousands versus his slaying thousands, his whole perspective changed. He was no longer content with his success. Now he was envious and jealous. He basically wasted the rest of his life trying to be David. All he had to do was realize: “I am not David. God has blessed him in a different way.”
We have to understand the sovereignty of God. He has given to every person different gifts, different talents according to our own ability. It might not seem fair to us, but God’s ways are not our ways. Everyone doesn’t get the same, but what He gave you is what you need to fulfill your destiny. Whether you’re a Saul and can defeat a thousand, or you’re a David and can defeat ten thousand, the right attitude is, “I’m going to take what God’s given me and make the most of it.”
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You have given me gifts and talents to fulfill my destiny, and they are different from what others have been given. Thank You for the blessing of being different and the privilege of making the most of what You’ve given me. I will be content. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
