Reading today's entry in "One Bread, One Body" entitled "Beyond Compare", we should never compare ourselves to others. When we compare [it says] it can lead to jealousy or pride. I thought about this for sometime, as I was not sure this statement was correct. All people at sometime compare themselves to others to see where they are in the scheme of things i.e. careers, relationships even in sports and mostly physical appearances. So maybe the statement is not all that wrong, if we let these comparisons take over our lives, and we become obsessed in being the best athlete, the most beautiful, the richest etc. Then I reread the last sentences; "If we believe that our heavenly Father loves us, we have no reason to compare ourselves with others. Through Jesus and in the Spirit, be secure in your Father's love." Amen
