Measuring on Ourselves

Today in church, as I listened to what was being said, I don't know who said it, but it finally dawned on me that we are only measured on OURSELVES. I know that we have been taught this over and over, but it really sunk in today, and not because someone said something profound, but that my heart was ready to hear it.

I know, in my heart, that we will be judged by what we did with our lives. I know that it will make a difference for where we ultimately end up, but I also know that I have control. Our worthiness is based on US, we are measured against US. We are not measured on how well we measure up to this sister here or that brother there, just on OURSELVES.

So, I guess I had better get busy making some better choices!
