Look, what I have with God, the relationship I have, is nothing more nor nothing less than what someone else has. It’s just DIFFERENT & UNIQUE—just like He made me to be, different and unique. It’s SPECIAL.

Just think about it. You can see in your own life that there are a few people you consider to have special and close relationships with; don’t you cherish those relationships? Don’t you think that you and your closest friends fit because you guys are unique and mesh together? Don’t you see couples, friendships, and relationships and wish you could have what “they” have—the intimacy, the closeness, the love?

I feel like God is standing right in front of us saying, STOP COMPARING, the thing that you want, need, desire, everything—it’s ME. Jesus is just waiting for us to want to hold his hand. The Father is looking at us with this intense love-gaze, He’s madly in love with us.

A lot of times I find myself comparing who I am to other people. I’ll be honest, I don’t do it sometimes—I do it a lot. I hear the stupid lies telling me, I have to pray more, fast more, manifest more, I’m not good enough, not “holy” enough, or not worthy. THOSE ARE STUPID. But sometimes I let them get to me, which sometimes leads me to believe that I should keep my insecurities inside. That these insecurities should be kept secret, because if I talk about them I’m burdening others, if I talk about them people won’t understand, if I talk about them people would condemn me. THOSE ARE LIES AND THEY’RE STUPID. It’s when we can walk in full-freedom and full-confidence of who we are then this spirit of comparison and competitiveness would be broken.

Stop comparing, if you’re in a relationship or friendship, don’t you want it to be so rare that it’s different from everyone else? We have this fundamental desire to be special, to be needed, to be wanted, and to be ACCEPTED. Guess what? There’s a God who desires to give you all that and MORE. Your creator made you, you’re his original masterpiece, made to give Him specific joy and pleasure that only you can give Him! Don’t you see that the way we compare and compete with one another is a disgrace? It’s honestly displeasing God, it’s like saying what you’ve given me and what you want to give me isn’t good enough.

There’s no race to win His heart, you ALREADY have it. I can’t even imagine and fathom this simple fact. STOP COMPARING. Look to the Father and ask Him what does your relationship mean to Him….I guarantee you that you won’t be disappointed. Because, what you have, the relationship that you’ve cultivated and made with Him is special, so distinct, so beautiful, that no other can come close.
