outdo one another in love.
God is teaching me to be satisfied in who He has made me to be rather than to aspire to be someone else or to feel that i have to match up to the talents of others.
Lord, teach me to give You thanks when others bless other people rather than to feel that i need to match up to it so as to gain acceptance.
the Bible teaches us to outdo one another in love, but it's in a selfless way, not a competitive way.
Lord, teach me not just to see only my weaknesses, but Lord, help me to see the strengths and talents that you have given me. others might say that i am talented in different ways, but somehow it's hard for me to believe it. all i see is how i can be more loving, more compassionate, more merciful, kinder, more real.
help me to trust.
