You Follow Me

When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” ~ John 21:18-22
"How does my --

   lot
   life
   gifts
   job
   skills
   body
   beauty
   intelligence
   strengths
   children
   marriage
   struggles

compare with so-and-so's?"

Jesus has blunt, real, honest words for us:  What is that to you? You follow me!

That's right: no judgment, no comparison, no measuring to any other person.

Talk about freeing! "This is me and this is my life and this is what He has called me to. He will give me enough grace to help me every minute in every task and challenge."
