spirituality

Hyper spirituality is always based on comparison.
Am I doing enough?
Is he doing enough?
Does he think that I am doing less than he?
These are endless questions that lead a person to a jungle of paranoia.
Comparison is misleading.
We cannot compare ourselves with God and we should not
compare ourselves with one another.
It is not wise. II Cor.10:12
All of us are tailor-made for God.
Our gifts are different and so are our experiences with God.
Other believers’ success is never our defeat, but a blessing.
We don’t rejoice in others’ failures.
It never makes us more favored by God.
We are strong when we learn to rejoice in other people’s victories.
When we were born-again
we were given a life that is stronger than Satan and more interesting
than sin. We don’t become spiritual by the things that we do or don’t do.
We became spiritual by the new birth.
Let’s not suppress this exciting new life by religious rules and
stereotypes. They give us a religious appearance, but no true fellowship
with the living Savior.
Christ is daily interested in us.
