Competing as a Pastor

"Refuse to think competitively. God has gifted everyone uniquely and distinctively - believe that. He has gifted many in various ways - and that includes you. Let it be. Don't sweat it. Put competition to rest. We can choose not to compare ourselves with others and not surround ourselves with those who have a competitive spirit. We're all in this together - so if one is in need, we all pitch in. And if one rejoices, we all rejoice. Envy is a thief; it will steal your joy."

- Charles R. Swindoll
