It
sounds funny, but I used to be paralyzed by my potential. I
intrinsically knew I would be successful at whatever I put my effort
into. But not everyone is successful. So why is it fair for me to
succeed if everyone doesn't? So this deception kept me from putting
my effort into anything truly creative, anything that could be wildly
successful.
But
then God taught me Psalm 91:7. A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
Other
people's failures are just that – other people's failures. They
have nothing to do with me. Compassion over what God is doing with
them should not distract me from what God is doing with me. How about
you? Can you relate?
