Each of us wonders about how near the top of the table others
will seat us. Out of fear that we will be told to make room for someone who is
preferred to us, we usually don’t go for the top seat.
Possibly, nothing concerns us as much as how we are ranked
in the eyes of others. Think of this: when God told you to love your neighbor
as much as you love yourself’, he did not tell you to love your neighbor more
than yourself.
No! You are
God’s precious child, and he has put this precious child that you are in your
own hands. He has entrusted you to your own keeping. He has charged you to keep
yourself healthy and happy
Becoming a good Christian requires you to keep convincing
yourself that each of the people around you is also God’s precious child. It
requires you to share God’s love for each of those around you.
God is happy at the advancement of children other than
yourself. If you can share God’s happiness at seeing other people getting
ahead, you are on your way to becoming a saint.
