Tag: God’s commendation

For we don’t dare classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves.

But in measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves to themselves, they lack understanding…

For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one the Lord commends. (2 Corinthians 10:12, 18)

Lord it’s so easy to measure my performance by others’. To compare myself with others.

But that way of thinking is empty. Because ultimately, there’s only one thing that matters: what you think.

And you’re not comparing me to others. All you’re looking at is how faithful I’m being to you.

So Lord, let me be faithful to you. I want to hear your commendation. I want to hear you say, “Well done.”

In your name I pray, amen.
