I Don't

“Pretty soon we start praying like the fellow at the religious caucus:  ‘God, I thank you that the world has people like me.  The man on the corner needs welfare—I don’t.  The prostitute on the street has AIDS—I don’t.  The drunk at the bar needs alcohol—I don’t.  The gay caucus needs morality—I don’t.  I thank you that the world has people like me.’”  Max Lucado  Traveling Light

What did she leave off?

“They all need You, God—I don’t!”

In what direction is our moral compass pointed?  Are we more concerned with comparing ourselves to others (assured “righteousness”) or to God (righteousLESS)?  We assure ourselves of a good feeling when we compare ourselves to other faulty humans, but we fear to compare ourselves to a righteous God!

To whom are you comparing yourself?
