Day 9. January 9th, 2012.

Notice the creases on my thumbs. They crease, differently. One, left, with various lengths, while on the right they crease straight across. I've no idea why; just always noted this difference. Maybe it's normal, maybe it's not.

Comparisons. 


These aren't always a blessing. They can be a discouragement, the cause of jealousy, judgement or even self-loathing at times. To feel compared to another can be the worst feeling one is able to experience. But what is a blessing, is that God doesn't compare us. God doesn't wish that we were as pretty as a model or as talented as a music legend, so why should we dare compare our unique life to another's? Out of those moments of distress when the feeling of comparison overwhelms, one I know quite well, we have the distinct blessing to know that we're loved for who we are, not who we wish to be.

The songs "Forgiven - Reliant K" and "What Love Really Means - JJ Heller" come to mind here. Two of my favorites.
