YOU do YOU

"Jesus isn't looking for you to be like other Christians, He is looking for you to be like Him." (-Unknown) - also just wanted to let you know that most of these quotes are going to be unknown, so if I forget to put the "who-it-is-by" thing, then it's probably unknown. :) 
     Sometimes - maybe a lot of times - we compare ourselves to other Christians. Maybe they're better "qualified" to enter into the kingdom of heaven, maybe they sin less, maybe they have a closer relationship with God, maybe they have a better testimony, maybe they WHATEVER! None of these things matter to God. He doesn't compare people to each other by looking at their deeds. He looks at our hearts, and he doesn't compare them. God gave each of us a unique talent that can help draw others to Him just as well as anyone else.
If we put aside our self-hatred, then we can focus on studying the Lord and trying to become more like Him. That's what's really important. So quit trying to make yourself "look" better. It's okay that you can only give thirty dollars to charity, rather than your friend who gives one-hundred. YOU do what YOU can do. THEY will do what THEY can do. The Lord is always at your side, so if you ask for help, he will grant it to you!
     Basically, I want you guys to know that you don't have to be the best Christian to please God. You just have to be a true Christian to please God.
