Ever believe that where you are now, you got there because of your own effort? Ever believe that you accomplished something because of your talents? No one can claim to be adequate without God's help. No one can do the things God has in store for us on his or her own. Without the Holy Spirit, we and our talents can only go so far...We need to learn to humble ourselves. We need to stop comparing ourselves as well. When we compare ourselves with others, we begin to feel pride because we eventually begin to think that we are better than them. But if we actually took the time to compare ourselves to God's standards, we would realize how useless pride is. Stop looking to others or comparing, you are unique. If you don't see where God is bringing you, be calm and stay humble. Serve. It is when you serve that you realize what being served is like. Please let that sink in...
2 Corinthians 3:5 - "Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God."
2 Corinthians 10:12 - "We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise."
