Horse & Hummingbird Gallery Canvas Print

I compare myself to other people all the time. Friends, colleagues, neighbors, and the people I went to high school with.

According to the Bible, God made hummingbirds on the 5th day. He made horses on the 6th. It seems obvious that He made a horse because He wanted something different than a hummingbird. I don’t expect he chastises horses for not being able to fly or expects hummingbirds to hang their tiny heads in shame for all the times they don’t win the Kentucky Derby. 

Quite frankly it’s kind of ridiculous to compare the two. So why do we do it with one another? It’s no less ridiculous.

But it’s a great way to waste time we could be spending to improve our lives and make the world better by embracing and sharing our own unique gifts.

Later on in the Bible, we learn that “God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.” (Rom 12:6) You are not like anyone else. You are supposed to do what you’re made for. And no one else has the same mission as you do.

We don’t need you to be a horse. We don’t need you to be a hummingbird. We don’t need you to be a better version of that girl you went to high school with.

We just need you to be you.
