Run Your Race

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day and they asked me....do you ever wonder how some people that are close to you get blessing after blessing and you know they're not doing right?

I think we all have wondered that...it's frustrating but you must remember, their story is not your story, their race is not your race and God's timing is perfect! Listen do not let the Green Eyed monster of envy and jealousy distract you. 

Stay in your lane, keep your focus. Yes, you may feel like your being stagnate but God is in control, trust Him!

Run YOUR race and don't be envious of other runners. They may be ahead of you, may have more than you, seem smarter, SEEMINGLY have more blessings than you, but run YOUR race because there WILL be a change!

Hold tight, stay focused and run YOUR race! Don't be envious...envy is an insult to the Creator. The Good book asks us, “Who are you, a mere human being, to criticize God? Should the thing that was created say to the one who made it 'Why have you made me like this?'"

Comparison, envy, jealousy, self doubt...all those things only distract you from your purpose and wastes your time and energy. And in the words of Sweet Brown…"Ain't nobody got time for that!"

Run YOUR race, things will change.
