Comparisons

Comparisons.  That’s how you determine value.

They’re called comps – putting something alongside to determine quality and value.

And people do the same to measure their spirituality.  Of course…it’s done in secret.  It’s the in-comparison game.  You may feel you are doing well – in comparison.

But wait.  Paul challenges the Ephesians to “Be imitators of God…”  And then – “…live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us…” 

How do you look now…when you compare yourself to God?  Do you live like Jesus?  Do you lay down your life for others?

Today…be an imitation of God.  Let His likeness be the template by which you measure your spirituality.
