where do i line up

Are you above me or below me? Older or younger? Better looking? More financially stable? More intelligent? Better dressing? More experienced?
Everyday we ask ourselves these questions, often subconsciously. It’s like we have a continual filter running, and we run each person we come in contact with through this filter. Comparing them, seeing how they ‘line up’ next to us. I think even the people with the healthiest relationship with God end up doing this. We compare our relationships, we compare our physical bodies, we compare our possessions, EVERYTHING.
I think the comparision game can lead to 2 outcomes, neither positive. Pride or jealousy.

Pride. If you’re ‘higher’ than the other person that automatically makes you better.
Jealousy. If you’re ‘lower’ you want to be ‘higher’ and are therefore jealous of what this other person has.

If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, 5for each one should carry his own load.
Galations 6:3-5
