No Christian should ever think that he or she is totally independent and does not need help from others. No one should be excused from the task of helping others. The church functions only when the members work together for the common good.

When we do our very best, we feel good and proud of our results. There is never a need to compare ourselves to others.

People make comparisons for many reasons. Some point out others’ flaws in order to feel better about themselves. Others simply want reassurance that they are doing well.

When we are tempted to compare, look at Jesus Christ. Christ’s example will inspire us to do our very best, and his loving acceptance will comfort us when we fall short of our expectations.

Galatians 6:1-4
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else,
