Do you see as a mortal sees?
Are your days like those of a mortal
or your years like those of a man,
~Job 10: 5-6
God. He is the only entity I know that can be not only in two places at once, but everywhere at once. He is omnipotent (all powerful). He loves everyone, no matter what they look or act like, or where they come from. He is unchanging, completely pure and sin free, truthful, faithful, patient, and alive.
Now let's take a look at me. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty much confined to one spot at a time (unless you stand on the border, for you A Walk To Remember fans). Even if I have power over something, my power is limited. I find it challenging to love people I don't necessarily 'approve of'. I change my mind and myself constantly. I sin every day. I tell lies (not gonna lie). I'm not always faithful to my word. I am usually running just a little too short on patience. And last but not least, I am dead (in my sin).
Wow. What a difference. I am trying to become more like Christ, and therefore more like God, but I still see a lot of things I need to change. One thing I see specifically is what I think of things. Guess what, Madelyn? What you think doesn't actually matter!
Anyway, the above can hardly be called a comparison, although I don't know what else to call it. However, I do know that I will keep this 'comparison' as a To-Do list. Hopefully it'll help me keep track of the things I still need to work on.
