Thoughts for Today - "No Mates!"

Naturally, every human has got mates, one way or another, depending on d circumstance... could be age-mates, class-mates, room-mates, etc...but however related; mates often have or share something in common either in time or place...
Individuals often tend to measure and quantify their progress or level in life at any point, using d progress or level of some or all of their mates as d yardstick for d measurement...This is often as a result of d need to meet up or belong and also d insatiable nature of d human being...Which consequently becoms d foundation for unnecessary comparations and unhealthy competitions between individuals...
Though comparations and healthy competitions are sometimes necessary to motivate individuals to seek for greater heights of accomplishments in their field and not to settle for good, when d best is attainable...But d problem often begins when the comparations are based only on material possessions acquired and not on d level of positive impact made on lives...This would often cause an individual to be willing to do just 'anything' not witstanding if its for or against God's will for him; just to meet up wit d level of his mates and not to be left behind; with a belief dat 'd end will justify d means'...Depending on d path d individual decides to take, he is never aware of its end until it comes upon him suddenly...
A wise man said 'Life is in phases and men are in sizes'...An understanding dat individuals, though physically mates, one way or another have different destinies as predetermined by God their creator whose yardstick for measuring mates is not by material possessions, but by d individuals' readiness based on their faithfulness in small things and most importantly God's purpose and timing for their lives...
Remember! "For d fulfillment of d will of God in Moses' life, he had to 'leave' d palace, and for d fulfillment of d will of God in Joseph's life, he had to 'enter' d palace"...
Therefore, it will only be a display of ignorance to compare oneself wit a mate, based on material terms...Though, God 'never' called His children to a life of poverty and mediocrity, yet His main goal is to ensure d full fulfillment of His will in their lives as long as they surrender to Him and let Him direct their lives...

Truth! There is nothing dat d devil can give to a man dat God did not plan to give even much more to him...
Instead of striving to meet up with mates, rather strive to meet up wit God's standards and every other thing will surely be added...

Truth! From God's view-point; You have 'no' mates in life and dat understanding would save your life! He chooses and uses anyone He pleases, by His Grace and Mercy, mates or no mates not witstanding!
Never pray a prayer motivated by envy of mates, rather always pray dat His perfect be done in your life!
