Funny this topic is on your mind, becau...Hi Cindy,<br /><br />Funny this topic is on your mind, because just yesterday I listened to a sermon on the danger of comparison. He talked about how destructive it is in our lives. He said that we live in The Land of Er. We want to be pretty-er, tall-er, thinn-er, etc. He also talked about the reflection we see when we look in the mirror. Do we see our parents' expectations that we could never quite live up to? Do we see someone else that we wish we were more like? (bells going off on that one for me!). Or do we see who God created us to be--a unique, special person who was not intended to be like anyone else? I think you're right about this being part of what Jesus meant. He wants us to have abundant life! Spending it thinking we are not "er" enough is not abundant life!<br /><br />(Note to Pam: I know just what you mean, and I married someone who loves to drag me out on the dance floor! But I've tried to give up on the fact that I'm not .... dancey-er!)<br /><br />Love you,<br /><br />Your sisterMarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568623920312875886.post-47967014161593943012012-07-01T13:34:24.362-07:002012-07-01T13:34:24.362-07:00The thing I cannot bring myself to do is dance in ...The thing I cannot bring myself to do is dance in public. I have always had the fear that people would look at me and think "poor thing, I wonder if she knows she has no rhythm"! PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
