I think the way I combat comparison is to remind myself that God made me with unique purpose. I have unique passions, and the more I like myself, the less I want to be somebody else.

That’s a great question. I too struggle with comparison — I imagine we all do. I remember the people I met in Guatemala and El Salvador – their grace and gratitude despite so many hurdles. That inspires me.

In reply to Amber. So glad you came by! Yes! We will always have something to battle against, I think, in any season of life. Christ our foundation!

I wrote about this same thing, getting outside of yourself and serving. I will be posting it tomorrow. I have also been on a Facebook sabbatical b/c of how it makes me feel, so I’m trying to battle the same battles you wrote about here. It’s tough. Thank you for making me feel like I’m not alone. Glad I found you at FMF!
