Something to think about...

Both of these quotes are from Lysa Terkeurst's book, Becoming More Than Just A Good Bible Study Girl.

* Whenever I get an overly idyllic view of someone else's circumstances, I often remind myself out loud, "I am not equipped to handle what they have -- both good and bad."

Think of something you want that someone else has.  Have you been lured into thinking, If only I had ____________ like that person, my life would be great!"  Now practice redirecting those thoughts by saying instead:

I am not equipped for her good. 

I am not equipped for her bad.

I am not equipped to carry the weight of her victories.

I am not equipped to shoulder her burdens.

I am not equipped to be her in any way.

I am, however, perfectly 

equipped to be me.

Therefore, thank You, God, for only entrusting me with what I have and who I am.
