Be the person that God made for a unique role that you are destined to fulfill. You compare with somebody else? You'll never get off the ground. You try to copy someone else, and you will never be the person you were created to be. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hindrances/How-to-Never-Be-Satisfied-4958 2008-08-12T12:35:54-05:00 So how do we find that contentment that the Bible calls "great gain"? For starters, if you must compare, compare yourself with people who are worse off than you are. There are many, many of them. And focus on the God you belong to who is working out a unique plan for you, unlike anyone else's on earth. As part of His plan, there will always be people with more of what you want and people with less than what you have. He's measuring out yours in the amounts that will most make you like Jesus and help you be what He made you to be.
