When we compete, someone is bound to lose. Is that building up God’s kingdom or tearing it down? Try these ideas:

>> Instead of comparing your abilities to those of other people, find out what you do well and focus on using your gifts to glorify God.

>> Take note of how your peers shine and encourage them. Their gifts aren’t better or worse than yours; they’re just different.

What’s important is not that you come out on top but that you use your talents for the glory of God.
