Let God tell you
who you are
Comparing yourself
to your brothers and sisters in Christ
will only make you feel superior
or inferior
Leave it up to God
Be your absolutely unique
self
and give yourself grace
to grow in Christ
without pride
or condemnation
The most important thing
is not
to be more like this person here
or that person there
It is to be like Christ!
Compare yourself with others
NOT
Know your Father’s delight
in created
YOU

We’re not, understand, putting ourselves in a league with those who boast that they’re our superiors. We wouldn’t dare do that. But in all this comparing and grading and competing, they quite miss the point.
– 2 Corinthians 10:12 (MSG)
Am I now trying to win the favor and approval of men, or of God? Or am I seeking to please someone? If I were still trying to be popular with men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
– Galatians 1:10 (AMP)
But each one must carefully scrutinize his own work [examining his actions, attitudes, and behavior], and then he can have the personal satisfaction and inner joy of doing something commendable without comparing himself to another.
– Galatians 6:4 (AMP)
