It is sad
Very sad
How we measure our success by the downfall of others.
"Haven't you seen that woman who begs food on the street?. I thank God say I no dey beg"
"Me and that girl went to the same primary school, today she is selling Bread and Akara and I have two Cars, who would have thought?"
This sounds like a good report in your ears right?
It shouldn't be.
You shouldn't see your self succeeding because others are failing..
You can succeed without comparing people. It is a faulty basis for a testimony
Even in our Christianity, We measure our spiritual soundness and righteousness by our abstainance from the sins others are commiting.
At least we don't commit those ones."I do not steal to pay school fees, even as na give and take I do, e still better"
"Even God knows that I can't sleep with married women, what happened to single girls?"
You even mention God sef.
To bear you witness you are not that bad
Our yardstick is that Everybody is bad one way or the other.
Nobody is pure you think.
So it is okay to be bad as long as your bad isn't as bad as the bad that every body really considers as bad.. Really?
Gehazi's feeling more justified than Samson And Herod's feeling less sinful than Judas..
Hey believer
Bad doesn't reduce because Evil came in And sin doesn't stop being sin because an Abomination surfaces.
All of us needs to run to the Throne of Grace to obtain Mercy and find HELP. All of us!
Because our yardstick for judging our righteouness is faulty and we All need his one remedy..
Grace!
Good morning from here!
