COT:
This was a you v. you workout, not a you v. me workout. Someone once said “When you compare yourself to others, you either win or lose.” It is easy to do, but it is not helpful.

You are either puffed up by pride if you are better than someone else, or you are beat down by shame if you are worse.

But there is a better way!

Romans 12:3
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you : do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

COT: The Discipline of Confession
1 John 1:9
Confession is an opportunity to grow in humility. We have to admit to God and to ourselves that we have sinned. Confession is a good place to be. It takes us back to the foot of the cross. We were born into a fallen world. We sin against God and others and we are sinned against by other people. Confession is cathartic to release the burden of unconfessed sin before a loving and forgiving God. As Christians we trust in Christ’s sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins. We should confess our inequities to God, David’s confession in Psalm 51 is a model for us. Also, it is good to confess sin to trusted brothers. I encourage you all to find a trusted brother that you can confess sin to.
