OFF TO CHURCH THIS MORNING.....KIDS AT THE CABIN. I ALWAYS COME HOME FROM CHURCH WITH SOME QUESTIONS......TODAY I FOUND A WONDERFUL ARTICAL I MUST KEEP AT HAND SO I CAN READ IT ......PROBABLY REGULARLY.....IT WAS AT THIS YEARS CONFERENCE BY ELDER J DEVIN CORNISH.......
"MY BELOVED BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WE MUST STOP COMPARING OURSELVES TO OTHERS....WE TORTURE OURSELVES NEEDLESSLY BY COMPETING AND COMPARING. WE FALSELY JUDGE OUR SELF-WORTH BY THE THINGS WE DO OR DON'T HAVE AND BY OPINIONS OF OTHERS.....IF WE MUST COMPARE, LET US COMPARE HOW WE WERE IN THE PAST TO HOW WE ARE TODAY-----AND EVEN HOW WE WANT TO BE IN THE FUTURE.....THE ONLY OPINION OF US THAT MATTERS IS WHAT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER THINKS OF US...
THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS "AM I GOOD ENOUGH.?" AND "WILL I MAKE IT?" ARE YES! YES YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH AND YES YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT AS LONG AS YOU KEEP REPENTING AND DO NOT RATIONALIZE OR REBEL......IT ENDS WITH....OUR HEAVENLY FATHER INTENDS FOR US TO MAKE IT......THAT IS HIS WORK AND HIS GLORY"
THESE CAN BE COMFORTING WORDS ON THE DAYS YOU ARE DOWN. AND WHO HASN'T OR DOESN'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO ......TO MANY PEOPLE IN AND AROUND US.......FAMILY MEMBERS....CHURCH MEMBERS.....FRIENDS?.......I AM GUILTY BUT WILL BE THINKING ABOUT IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
