"We talk as those who believe God is omnipotent and omnipresent, but we often act as if He can only work through one person, one method, or one kind of ministry at a time. If we don't refuse ourselves the indulgence, we can lapse into the mentality of a spoiled child who thinks that if God shows you favor, He must hate me...
"One the other hand, we can do our level best not to compare ourselves with those of similar gifting or calling...others will leap forward to do it for us. Stand back and watch how many observers will try to nudge you into a competition with someone who fills a similar slot. The idea that anything comparable is automatically competitive."
~Beth Moore, Mercy Triumphs
