Why do I feel like everyone is ahead of me in life?

You open Instagram at 7am, still in bed, and someone from school has a new car. A promotion. A holiday in Phuket. And before you have even made coffee, you feel behind. Like you missed a memo everyone else got. That feeling is a liar. It measures you against the wrong thing entirely. Here is what is true about you:

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

- Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)

At some point today, maybe on a taxi, maybe on a lunch break, write this in your phone notes: 'Made on purpose. Built for something.' Not your salary. Not your follower count. Just that. Read it once before you sleep tonight.

If you stopped measuring your life against someone else's, what would you notice about your own?

God, I am tired of feeling left behind. Remind me today that you made me with care, and you had a plan for me before I had a single doubt about myself. That is enough. Amen.
