Do you recognize yourself as the treasure that God created or do you constantly seek the approval of your friend, colleague or neighbor? Are you always looking for ways to stand out to the people around you? Do you constantly live in competition with those close to you?
Friend, friend, the time has come to let all this go. Competitive comparison is a distraction, it's a thief. It steals your time, energy, focus and joy. You are not on this earth to impress anyone; you don't have to prove anything because you are a special work of God. He created you with a purpose and for a purpose. He has given you what you need to do everything He calls you to do.
Run the race that God has entrusted to you, put the gifts and talents that He has given you at the service of the Lord. You will see His blessing and favor in your life and advance into what the Lord has in store for you!
Together we pray to the Lord telling him: God in heaven, thank you for what you give me day after day. I desire to rest in You knowing that I am Your workmanship. Thank you for how you direct my steps. Help me to serve you as you want. In the name of Jesus... Amen!
With love, Ivano Salerno
