Our message at Life Fellowship this weekend was so very good. We can all fall into comparison - and when we compare, we find so many reasons why God can’t use us. That is a lie.
This quote and these verses are great and tie into the message so well! Something very important that I am learning in this season is that if we quit waiting for everything to be perfect, and live for God’s purposes right now, He will use us in our current circumstances to point others to Him!
"Somewhere along the way, we got it into our heads that God calls only the perfect or the educated or the successful.... Somehow we have believed that only the 'worthy' can bring glory to a God who is worthy. Turns out that God uses the broken and the wounded." Angela Thomas
“Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.” 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 NLT
“Oh, don’t worry; we wouldn’t dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” 2 Corinthians 10:12 NLT
“For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.” James 3:16 NLT
“Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our own conduct.” Galatians 6:4-5 NLT
